Default coolant sensor question

hey, my cluster reads that my car is always cold. even when im blowing hot air and driving on the freeway for a while it barely moves up not even near the half way mark.
i noticed on this diagram the "green" plug is not screwed all the way in i can see some threading of the sensor showing. is that the problem?
or it shouldnt really matter because its still in there.



btw i have a b16 im not sure if this diagram applys but it looks close.

btw the green one reads directly to my cluster right? and the red one is for the fan? bcause mine was not turning on so i replaced the fan switch next to the thermostat housing.

dunno if there is a difference in location but that diagram shows a d-series motor. do you have a thermostat in your car? without one that could cause it to run colder
