How high should the heat lamp be on the babies

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Put the heat at only one end and keep it up relatively high and well secured. Don't just rely on the clamp. Monitor the birds behaviors. If they are going back and forth between the heat source and their food and water peeping, that's fine. If they're distressed chirping then they're cold. If they're laying around panting they're overheated.
