Its not because of the position of the cursor, its because I don't know how to separate Longitude from Latitude in my code.

http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json

...you can see in the pic that the numbers aren't clear because both Longitude and latitude are on top of each other

How do I separate them? my code is under this pic

The structure of your while loop is wrong. You're displaying the same information each time through the loop. You should also be using the JSON library to access the content rather than parsing it by hand.

You need a couple of If statements or a switch()/case block to display the values at the right cursor location e.g. Something like...

  display.setTextSize(1);
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);
 
  while(client.peek () != '}' && client.find('"')) {
      String id = client.readStringUntil ('"');
      float val = client.parseFloat ();
      client.find ('"');
      Serial.print(id + ":"); Serial.println(val, 4);

      If(id == "longitude"){
         display.setCursor(0,0);
         display.print("longitude:");
         display.setCursor(0,10);
         display.print(val);
      }
      if(id == "latitude"){
         display.setCursor(0,40);
         display.print("latitude:");
         display.setCursor(0,50);
         display.print(val);
      }
  }//end while
  display.display();

other coding improvements:
Don't use println() use print() if you're setting cursor yourself. Only call display.display() once after you've printed everything. You only need to call setTextSize() and setTextColor() once before the start of the loop

I am trying this out, but im not Sure im doing it right. Latitude not showing up...but a good thing happened, longitude is isolated now.

is this meant to go in with the rest of my code? im assuming its not meant to stand by itself...?

 

yes, its a snippet of code around the while loop... it replaces lines 83 to 116 approx in your original code. If you're still missing 'longitude', check that the 'id' retrieved from the JSON is the same spelling & length as the string its being compared with in line 10 of my code snippet...

Works perfect now, THANKS!!!! also starting to learn a few things from what you told me.
