i flushed the radiator as it was rusty and changed the coolant and thermostat

now the car doesn’t reach the middle temperature (i bought the OEM temperature) its about 2 centimeters from the left, also the radiator fan doesn’t turn on once in a good while it runs though randomly, i haven’t hard wired the fan to check if its broken but i’m pretty sure the motor is good because it runs sometimes
recently it hasn’t been though. i drive for about 20 minutes, and check to see if the fan is running, it isn’t i touch the engine and its hot, not burning hot, but the temperature is still stuck 2 centimeters to the left never at the middle

is this autozone thermostat stuck or something? i paid 14 bucks for that thing because oreillys was out of stock (8 dollars, damn you autozone!) (i ususally go to oreillys/kragens and get the cheapo one and i never had a problem)

also sometimes (once in a good while) when at a stop light, or in park the temperature starts to shoot up towards over heating, what i do to make the temperature go back down is start driving or place in neutral and rev the engine and it starts to go back down.
