This is excellent poker. Feel no shame about having unrefined thoughts when you have to make fast decisions with extreme punishment for taking too long, but having more robust thoughts when you've had appropriate time to think on it.
You're doing it right!

SB ranges are very tricky to suss out. It's entirely possible the full 29% VPIP is in play from SB.
Remember that VPIP when not by position is a very difficult stat to make sense of. When I was playing, my VPIP form UTG was ~6%, but my VPIP from BTN was close to 40%. There's a huge amount of variation in some players starting ranges, which VPIP cannot reflect.
Also, many beginner players don't know what their goals should be from the SB, so they play somewhat erratically, making their ranges further more difficult to guess at.
So it's hard to argue that you've made a bad guess at Villain's range, here. The fact that you've taken the time to consider what and why Villain's range is what you think it is there is amazing. Over time, you'll start to see big mistakes in the ranges you're guessing. That is a positive sign to keep pushing forward. You're learning to make better reads!

How do you think my guess at his range is?
Probably a good guess... unless you've seen him slow-play PRE with those hands.
