Try moving the powerhead an inch higher and aim it at the surface of the water? That might allow for the flow to spread around a little more. It’s going to require a little experimentation before you get it right

im thinking, since there are no settings besides how much flow it outputs(there is a ring that restricts water) and since its big, should I return and invest in another?(preferably under $70)any ideas?

You can aim it at a corner and create a lower gyre effect

This should be controllable. If too big, you can add screening around the back of pump which will reduce intake and flow rate
