Hi Vicki - Just soak the moss in water, squeeze excess water off and place back in the hide - you can also mist the viv with a spray bottle or water to bring the humidity up a little. Don't over do it or you can cause respiratory problems, and bacteria breed in warm moist conditions. To be honest the moist hide should do for Royals but it's needed more when your royal is going to shed.

Or place the water bowl nearer the heat source- this will raise humidity too.
