I only taped the wire part and let the probe come in contact with the glass and substrate. I don't know if that helps anything, but I felt it would be better instead of covering the actual probe. The weird part is, when I moved the substrate to the side to read the temps of the probe and glass around it, it only read around 95F. I say it's weird because the thermostat reads 101F. so when I check the probe with an infrared heat gun shouldn't it also read 101F?
The only thing I can think of as of now is that it's a faulty thermostat(not the brand, just this particular one). I've read some good reviews on the herpstat from spyderrobotics so I actually have one coming in this week. I'm going to use that to see if the same thing occurs.

Could be your thermostat is off, it's possible.
Don't forget there's always some heat loss when going between two objects. Especially with glass or something else between the two.
I tape my probe down to my heat tape and put it directly on top of it. You should try doing it by attaching the probe directly to the heat pad and see what happens. You can use a temp gun to adjust if need be within the enclosure.
