Screws and aquarium silicone for seams, for example.

If you don't expect high mechanical load (e.g. for wall panels) you can use "High tack" adhesives (MS or SMP polymer-based).

Looks good. I guess, it should be at 13-14" over basking area to reach 35-36C (leave a thermometer for 1-2 hours to check).

No
Does the timer work as if i turn it on i choose the timer to be 3 hours then it automatically turns off
Or
I choose to keep it on for 3 hours and off for 21 hours and it does all of that automatically
Most timer sockets allow you to set current time and then program working hours ("set and forget"). You can also use smart sockets and set schedule from your smartphone, monitor power consumption (useful with heaters).

I tend to think it's an Eastern Hermanns. They can also have a distinctive pattern on carapace scutes right above tail, resembling a fir tree or keyhole.
