Default Pisang Keling Looking Sad

I've been trying to grow a Pisang Keling plant in Arizona. It has been pretty hot here and is obviously dry as well. I've been trying to give the plant full/partial sun during the morning and evening hours when it's cooler and putting it in complete indirect sunlight during the daily highs. It has been getting up to 100-105 degrees and I've been bringing it inside and putting it by a window with indirect sun when it gets that hot. I water when the top of the soil is dry but when there's still a hint of moisture a half inch down. This has been every other day or occasionally once in three days.

I ramped it up to more full sun but it suddenly got very droopy and the leaves seem permanently folded whereas they used to be fairly rigid and get horizontal in the morning and evening hours. I repotted it as it was root bound in a small temporary container. I moved it permanently to the shade where it gets indirect sun to try and recover and I scaled back the watering a bit and am trying to wait until the top half inch of legitimately dry before watering again. It has only been about a week but it seems as though growth has slowed a lot and it doesn't seem to be recovering or changing much. I'm not sure if I was over/under watering or if I gave it too much sun or am currently giving it too little. I figured it was better to err on the side of letting it recover instead of pushing for more growth with direct sunlight.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I'm having a lot of trouble getting images on here so here are the links:
