I would consider that too warm for the cool side. 84-85 degrees for the warm side would be fine and it would get the cool side temps down 3 or 4 degrees. Ideally you should be able to keep the warm spot on 24 hrs. a day.
I can totally understand if you want to keep using that wood cage but if you can swing it financially I would consider switching to a plastic storage box or a aquarium that you could heat from below.
If you do keep using the same cage I would place the light as far to one end as possible and even tilt it a little towards the very end of the cage to help keep the heat directed as far to one end as possible.
If you start to consider brumating her it's not really difficult if you have a basement or a closet on a exterior wall that stays fairly cool and stable.
