The extract can out of a brewers best kit so shelf time could be an issue. I'll definitely take the pot off the burner while adding the LME in the future.
The grains are 1b caramel 40l and 8 oz Victory. Steeped at 150 degrees for 20 minutes.

Well depending on the color you were going for that crystal 40 and victory will darken the beer up a good bit. Not black by any means but definitely not like a light in color ipa. That would probably give you a more amber color than a golden color.

Do you have any pictures? Im curious what is too dark. I havent checked in a while but does Beersmith have LME in its list? If so you could enter the receipe there and it will tell you the expected color.
