So I posted yesterday that I was overheating and someone suggested that i was burping it wrong and to do research. I did and my damn G doesn't have a bleeder screw! Wtf! I tried it again by burping it through the radiator cap and since I don't have a non spill funnel, I just kept pouring distilled water for about a ****ing hour. I took it for a run around the block and it didn't even last that long. And now my temp is saying that it's 131°F outside. Idk if it's related. I attached a picture of where my bleeder screw should be

Calm down!
You don't mention the year and model of your vehicle.
Follow the troubleshooting steps in the FSM
Did you confirm the thermostat is opening?How old is it?
Did you confirm your water pump is functioning?
How old is the coolant and did you use the proper one?
How old is the radiator cap?
Did you ever do a pressure test?
If you are not qualified to follow the FSM just take it to the dealer, request a loaner, and ask them to call you when its fixed.
That heater hose bleed valve is prone to cracking and it looks like someone just spliced in a coupling instead of replacing it, I recommend purchasing one of the Z1 motorsports bleed valves with is made of metal and won't break.
I also recommend getting the front end up on jackstands because sometimes that can help work the air pockets out but without being able to bleed the heater core and no spill-free funnel it's probably not going to work right. Sometimes you can massage the heck out of the heater hoses with your hands and get it to flush the coolant through the system.
Ignore the ambient air temp for the time being, that sensor is right in front of the radiator and it's probably just residual heat throwing it off.

it's an 05 g35 with 86k miles. The thermostat is brand new. Only two days old along with the coolan, which was the orange 50/50. The reason it began to overheat is due to the fact that I cracked the radiator, so I don't think it's the water pump. No idea about the pressure test and the cap:/

I'll give that z1 bleed valve a try and I'll buy a funnel online since no stores around me have them
The lisle funnel is a must for bleeding the coolant system. You'll wonder why you didn't buy it sooner. Barely fill it up because you'll probably have an air pocket that explodes when it finds it's way out. Advance auto and oreilly carry them near me. You'll want the passenger side on jack stands for air to make it's way to the highest point(radiator cap). It helps if you have NDS2 or torque pro app to watch the temp of the coolant while you work also
