Default TB bypass cooling problem

well i took my TB of yesterday to clean it and make it look good again and since i had it off i did the TB bypass mod well since then when the car sits in traffic for a little bit after driving it its stays right at the half mark not overheating or anything but its always sat just below the half mark but when i drive it or turn the fans on manualy (SLP fan switch) it goes right back down to just below the half marker is that normal or is something wrong and nothing is leaking or coolant is topped of.

burp your cooling system, some air might have gotten in there.

It is most likely just air, check your coolant level you may just need to top off the radiator..
