JSYK a LOT of beardie owners and forums dislike compact UVB compact bulbs. It is significantly more often recommended to get long UVB bulbs such as a [T8](zilla reptile habitat lighting uvb fluorescent desert t8 bulb, 15w https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QFROMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yB4YDbYA21HAS) .
I actually run a MVB as well as a 14 inch T8, and my beardie is doing superbly.
Walmart doesn’t sell uvb lights, but you can get them on amazon for very cheap.

I’m on mobile, but I usually get them for under 15, but you want something like this.
Okay, the cage size is a bit small if you're getting a male, an 18x18x36 would be better. But I also have one that size that I use while they are 3-5 months old. When I am not using it that way I keep it in my car with a couple vines so I can take one out to a park or to the vet if needed.
The plant seems to be taking up a bit too much room, what type of plant is it? I prefer pothos because it's ivy that require very little care and you can shape them around your vines. If the plant is safe you may be good just pruning some leaves off to open the cage up a bit however.
go to a hardware store and get yourself a regular 10" dome light, shouldn't cost but around 10 bucks and put a cheap incandescent light bulb in it, somewhere around 70 watts, depending on the temperature in your house. also get yourself a shop light fixture, but not this one that you can find a 5.0, not 10 uv light. keep in mind those are examples of what to look for, not exactly what you should buy, as they wont fit together.
yeah uvb is a long bulb like this one https://www.amazon.com/Zilla-Reptile-Habitat-Lighting-Fluorescent/dp/B000QFROMQ
