I just looked at those light fixtures. I think the ones you have have 692 LEDs but only 64 watts which is 0.9 watts per LED. That means the light is not going to penetrate very deep and the light is really suitable for aesthetics rather than lighting corals (or anemones) unless it was on a really shallow tank. There is no way these light bars will penetrate enough intensity to the bottom of a 24" deep 90-gallon tank.
Having said that, how far down is the anemone? Can you move the rock closer to the light? As I said, BTAs don't need a lot of light, but if they aren't getting enough light to thrive then they need to be fed lots to make up for it. Since your anemone is in poor condition you should try to provide both - good light and good nutrition. You can up the feedings to 3x per week, and move it closer to the light if possible.

It could recover with some help from you.
