From the picture you will have two issues. First, the basking area is just a stick that the lizard has to balance to get on and heat up and it's very, very unlikely to be reaching 120*F. Secondly it's a screen-top tank that you will need to wet down 3 times per day where if you used a solid topped cage with front opening doors, it'd remain humid in there for days. You also use less bulb wattage to get up to good temperatures if you put the light inside the cage and solid top the enclosure. Being a 20 gallon is small also to get a good heat gradient, so repair your 55 mishap and get the light inside a near-sealed top.
