Most of the time my snake basks up top, she isn't always "perched" like that green tree python or even in the pic of my own. She just coils up and rests there, and after soaking up the heat she moves down. If she is thermoregulating herself this way, what is the problem?(not with the regurgitation, but more so with the setup I have)

So semi-arboreal now? That's what you've gone with? You've taken semi-arboreal and say "hmm...let's take an arboreal enclosure and use that then!" Brilliant.
Semi-arboreal means just use proper height, 6 - 12 inches and place branches in there with the thermoregulation going width and not height. It ISN'T a true arboreal species so height is moot.
The problem with your set up is that IT'S NOT WORKING. Why keep shoving a triangle into a cube hole? It boggles my mind. You've made a mistake and instead of admitting it and correcting it, you're trying to find any other reason for the issue.
I'd suggest giving the snake another way to bask and see which one it chooses. Currently, you've only given it one option and I think that's why you see it as okay...it has to use it or die.
