Re: heat lamps

Cali kings like about 28 C ambient temperature (not surface!) on the hot end. Surface temperature can be much higher. 24-25C on the cooler end is also fine.

I keep my Calis with 28 C hot, 24 C cool ambient temps, and a surface temp on the hot end of 36 - 38 C.

If it's too cold right now, try a higher wattage light bulb on the hot end I would say. I'm not sure if "the right side" for you is the hot or cold end, or how you are heating your terrarium (which also greatly influences what temperature a normal thermometer gives). So a bit more details on exactly how you are measuring temperatures and how you are heating the place would help a lot.
