i am trying to set up the weight and balance for Talon XP Two Seat. Can't seem to get it to work out right. Does anyone have a Talon XP that has set up their weight and balance using Ifly. I appear to be doing something wrong.

I don't have a Talon but have played around with the iFly W&B a fair bit and would be happy to try to help. Is there an online POH with W&B envelope data you can link to, or can you take a photo of your source W&B data and post it here?

Well, maybe, depending on how much you weigh. Alternately, you can carry some bricks up front with you.
The data sheet you provided didn't include a specific CG envelope. I assumed that any weight between 478 and 955 was allowable with a CG anywhere between 65 and 74", so it's a tall, narrow rectangle. I leave it to you to figure out if that's correct.
With that assumption, I built this framework for your plane's CG:
If you only weigh 170 lbs, and you're not carrying any ballast, then yeah, the numbers don't work even if you offload all the fuel.
Pack on some pounds until you're 225, though, and it looks fine (this screen is from the Wt/Bal button under Flight Plan):
