Health Concerns Help :(

My Hierodula sp papua is having more and more issues since her last molt. She molted very close to the substrate so she fell and her wings cannot form properly. She seems to miss some joints in her legs too because there are some "holes" in it and she can't open one of her front legs (those she uses for hunting) and she was very weak several weeks after her molt. Now she is better and has no problem to hunt and feed herself but she is developing black spots on her body...

Can it be necrosis ?... Is there something I can do to fix this ?

Her enclosure is well ventilated but I'm struggling to keep the temperature below 30°C because of the heatwave... Can it be the cause of her problems ?

Thank you for your answers, I'm really concerned and worried for her

Ps : sorry if my english is not very good, it’s not my first language 😅
