    My tree frogs do that as well for extra security and perhaps to get closer to the heat from lighting. You could take the background out until the frog gets big enough to not be able to fit there and instead tape a piece of paper for security

    Is a heat light or a UVB light more important because I have both bulbs but I only have one fixture that fits them both. I am currently using the UVB light should I be using the heat light instead?

    UVB is considered to be beneficial for this species and it will be exposed to it in the wild. Practical pet keeping series: amphibians has a care article and it recommends it and so does Exo Terra http://www.exo-terra.com/en/explore/uv_rating_index.php

    A heat lamp is also important though so it can bask, so you'll need to provide both
