Yes, having the gauges directly over the heating pad will definitely throw the readings off. It's best to have them in the center of the back wall. Your terrarium should have a temperature gradient- the side with the heating pad should be the hot and drier side and the opposite end should be cooler and wetter (and should have the water dish, like you have). Having the gauges in the middle will give you the best reading. Also, make sure you leave about 1/3 of the vents uncovered so your frog will get proper air flow.
