So in my 10 G I have 1 mystery snail 4 amano shrimp 7 neon tetras and 1 cory and water wisteria and anubias nana is my temperature too high? It is at 80 F
 
Yes. Neons prefer about 76°f.
It will tend to shorten their lifespan.
What kind of Cory. C sterbai can handle high temps but most prefer 76-78°

Is that the tank's normal temp (i.e., where you have the heater set), or is it just that high because it's a hot summer where you are? If the former, turn the temp down to 76, doing two degrees per day. Neons are much happier in the mid-70s.

If it's weather related, they can take short periods at around 80 without too much stress.
 
Well I live in oklahoma and this is without a heater my tank is 80 so I turned my fan on and it went down to about 78
