My apologies, I missed that. Other than that and waiting to see if she settles out, don't think there's much else you can do.Yep as i mentioned in my original post i have moved her to my spare bedroom and she only gets contact when feeding.
Just thought i'd point out (a little surprised no one else has yet) that keeping specific humidity numbers isn't necessary for Ts and can actually be detrimental in pursuit of chasing those numbers. What's important is the dampness in the substrate, as any moisture they need is attained from that and not the moisture content in the air above them. Humidity may be necessary for amphibians (which will dry out without it) and reptiles (who need it to aid with shedding), but Ts don't need it for either of those things, and when you're trying to hit specific numbers you can inadvertently create a stuffy environment that can harm your T. I'm sure it goes without saying to you that moist enclosures require ample ventilation to keep your T healthy.
Your temps are good, but these too can fall in a wider range - most Ts besides a select few species will do just fine in temps from the mid/upper 60s to the lower/mid 80s in Fahrenheit, with the most notable differences being that Ts kept at cooler temps tend to be less active/voracious and molt less often than Ts kept at the warmer end of the spectrum.
It could just be that your specimen is just particularly defensive, or she just needs more time to settle in. Huge behavioral changes after a molt aren't unheard of, so who knows; maybe she'll be a complete doll after her next molt.
