You will get used to Making a nice enclosure with a hide and the Tarantula digging a random hole and hiding there instead.
Ive seen you other thread and the light isn’t needed. I can’t see if you have a heat mat or not but if you do remove that aswell, it’s a common mistake for new keepers. Tarantulas dislike heat and light so it’s gotten itself into the corner behind the plant and got comfortable.

So I should get rid of the the heat light and I don’t have a heat pad underneath

The tarantula is hiding from the heat of the lamp. It's trying to stay cool so that it doesn't dehydrate. Please remove the heat lamp. :) It is not needed for any tarantula species. Provide a reservoir for your tarantula, as well.
