I saw my GBB sling on it's back and thought oh cool it's molting but then whe ni got up to leave it flipped right back over and is acting like nothing happened? Why did it do this? I didn't touch it or move it or anything.

Does it look like there is webbing (a molt mat) where it was laying? It could have fallen, perhaps and landed that way.

I will agree the enclosure is a little big, and could use several more anchor points for webbing.

Our GBB rarely went to the ground as a sling and constructed webbing towards the top of the enclosure. If also spend most of its time up there, even in full view. I think GBBs tend to do better in taller closures as slings and juveniles.
