You don't need to use two breadboards. The second one was there because the platform i was using is bad. The resistor closest to the sensor can also be put sideways too.

Arduino
Paste this onto Arduino platform
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 8
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

const int rs = 12, en = 11, d4 = 5, d5 = 4, d6 = 3, d7 = 2;
LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);

void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  sensors.begin();
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  
}

void loop(void){ 
  
  sensors.requestTemperatures(); 
  lcd.clear();
  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  lcd.print("Temp(C)");
  lcd.setCursor(10, 0);
  lcd.print(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));

  lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
  lcd.print("Temp(F)");
  lcd.setCursor(10, 1);
  lcd.print(sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
  
  delay(1000);
}
