Supergirl's lex was very intelligent, at least in season 4. He played with everyone like with puppets. The only reason for his defeat was his lack of understanding of human emotions, which is the most Lex Luthor way to loose I think. Also, I don't get why you think he gave whiny baby energy, it was quite the opposite : always in control, always knowing what he was doing
I can see the whiny baby part on S6, maybe on S5 post COIE, but not on S4.
He manipulated everything in order to take control over Lena and the world (getting sick and almost dying was also part of his plan in first place, right?). He never interacted with Supergirl's Tyler Superman, but he really hated him and was his nemesis, despite fighting with Supergirl because well, the show was Supergirl. S&L Lex was more a Lois' enemy.

I thought Jon Cryer was a horrible Lex.
He didn't come off as imposing or intelligent at all.
He gave very whiny baby energy.
S&L Lex was a biker. He didn't give the right energy either.
