Check the cartridge for damage, and replace if necessary.

The “barely gets hot” sounds like the mixing valve on the cartridge could be stuck.

Could be upside down but that wouldn't prevent the water from getting more that just warm. Most states require the mixing dealybob inside the housing , to be set a point that it won't scald when it's all the way over to hot. I find that set to low for me so you can adjust this so you'll mix more hot than you currently are. Personally and especially if you have kids, I wouldn't totally move it to the hottest position but somewhere hotter than you have now.
