Newbie Question about temperature

Hi folks! I’m very new to using a Kamado, but absolutely love it! There are a lot of things I need to learn and figure out, and I’m learning a lot on this sub! So thank you for that!

I’m hoping you can teach me another thing. I can’t figure this temperature thing out.

I’m currently cooking beer can chicken. Trying to start out easy. My dome says it’s ~170c. (338F) I also have two probes - 1 in the breast, 1 in the leg. They have different readings - 217c (423F) on the breast. 179 (354F) on the leg. So have 3 different readings, with a difference of 47c (117F) I don’t get it. What am I doing wrong?

Would very much appreciate the help!

I added the photos so you can see where I messed up 😉
