Basking spot out of UV light

Sorry for yet another thread but I was wondering something today as I looked at my chameleon.

Where his basking light is, and where he sits, I'm not sure the UV bulbs from the double canopy are reaching him properly? The uv lights are at the back and he basks high up at the front.

Will he still be getting the required uv this way?

I use an exoterra 45x45x60 and the exoterra canopy.

How can I get around this? Drop his basking branch and put a higher wattage bulb in? Or is it not an issue?
 
It should be hitting like a 65 degree radius or something so I think he'll be okay. You may want to move it closer, though.
 
I've added some pictures to show it better.

I think i might just move his basking stick further back towards the UV lighting. Should be easily done.
