Normal coolant temperature.

So my engine coolant never goes higher than this. I was just wondering if that's were it should be running?

On my SS it goes to the next line up from where your needle is (about the 11 o'clock position) and stays there...

Did you purchase the car used? Any chance previous owner put in a 160 or 180 degree thermostat?

Ordered my car from the factory back in late 2015. So im the only owner. Also lately seems like my car never enters V4 mode.

My temp gauge needle always sits right between where these two sit. I too have owned my 2016 a long time ( since March of 2016).

You are fine. We have had lots of debate over what is "normal temperature." The stock thermostat is 90 degrees C or 194 F. I believe it is stamped 90 C. That means it starts to open at that temperature and will be fully open at say 220 F.
Being a mechanical device, it may start to open at slightly lower or slightly higher temp than the one stamped. So there is minor variation.
But the dash reading should be right around that 11:00 mark as others have stated.

Any ideas on what could cause the car to never enter V4 mode? I know most people would be fine with that. but this is only a recent thing happening.

below is from the repair manual. Seems it does list all the required preconditions for afm.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION > CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (ACTIVE FUEL
MANAGEMENT) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > VALVE LIFTER OIL SOLENOID VALVE
The cylinder deactivation system uses an electro-hydraulic actuator device called the valve lifter oil
solenoid. The valve lifter oil solenoid is bolted to the top of the cylinder head valve covers. Each
solenoid controls the application of engine oil pressure to the intake and exhaust valve lifters on the
cylinders selected to deactivate. Engine oil pressure is routed to the valve lifter oil solenoid from an
internal oil passages.
Both valve lifter oil solenoids are connected in parallel to a fused ignition 1 voltage circuit, supplied by
the ignition relay. The ground or control circuit for each solenoid is connected to a low side driver
internal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
When all enabling conditions are met for cylinder deactivation, the ECM will ground each solenoid control
circuit in firing order sequence, allowing current to flow through the solenoid windings. With the coil
windings energized, the solenoid controls engine oil pressure through the valve lifter. When vehicleoperating
conditions require a return to V6 mode, the ECM will turn OFF the control circuit for the
solenoids, allowing the solenoid valves to close. With the solenoid valves closed, engine oil pressure in
the control ports is exhausted through the body of the solenoids into the engine.
During service, use extreme care in keeping the valve lifter oil solenoid free of any contamination or
foreign material.

Cylinder deactivation may be inhibited for many reasons including the following:
Engine coolant temperature out of range for cylinder activation
Engine vacuum out of range
Brake booster vacuum out of range
Transmission gear incorrect or shift in progress
Accelerator pedal out of range or rate of pedal application to fast
Engine oil pressure and temperature out of range
Engine speed out of range
Vehicle speed out of range
Minimum time in V6 mode not met
Maximum V4 mode time exceeded
Decel fuel cutoff is active
Reduced engine power is active
Torque management is active
Catalytic converter over temperature protection is active
Piston protection is active, knock detected
Cylinder deactivation solenoid driver circuit faults
