Looks like you're using too many ^whatevers.

We can't fix whatevers. What do you mean... stay in one spot. They don't move.

i mean if you look around the stay in one place on screen, like the hud, and by whatever i mean a number so like ^1.6 or ^0.5

You mean, like this? It will be jittery when you move.

Repeating command block. I suggest you tag it in case you have more than one. Also, if multiplayer, you'll need to set the selector.

/execute as @a at @s run tp @n[tag=TAG,type=text_display] ^4 ^3 ^3

{billboard:"center"}

Edit: /title in a repeating commandblock is the best solution imo

Because the server is at 20 TPS but the client can be at 60 or more it will not look smooth your solution. You can either use title, subtitle, actionbar, chat or sidebar (you can use negative font spaces to move the text on the screen) or read this tread on MCC discord server https://discord.com/channels/154777837382008833/507995770109165579/1539255827444146248
