I wouldn't have the swords so close to the glass. They radiate out in a rosette -- not straight up and down like they are now in their emersed form. Otherwise the new leaves will press up against the glass.
I'm going to take a picture of my tank I set up a 5 weeks ago to show you what I mean.

Idiopathogen I have a satellite fixture sitting on its legs. I am concerned about the light that spill out. Doesn't that lower the light that actually gets to the plants?
One coralife fixture I had overheated sitting on the glass with a canopy. Keeping them elevated keeps them cool, and will probably extend the bulb's useful life as well.
A few inches will not make a difference, and most of those plants seem to be low light. The swards will quickly over run that tank, which you make like depending on what setup you want.
