My plants are a couple of inches away from my light should I be worried?
Light is XS1500 Pro, currently at 80%
Should I turn my light down or will it be fine?

There is a par map in the Amazon details. At 100% the lights central spot is around 950ppfd at 12 inches.
This suggests but does not prove that a light set up at 80% but much closer ( 2 inches) will be too much light energy for the tops.
I would watch close for 4 hours and see if it starts to stress.
If you are not sure what that looks like I would recommend www.growweedeasy.com

thtas not good...at the very least you might get bleaching of your top buds, but if you look at your leaves , the ones which are yellowing down the edges!< thats a sign of potassium problems , often from having lights too bright or too close...the other plant isnt affected so its not a nutrient issue. this stress might cause the plant to throw out nanners and pollen. all you can really do is bend them over almost to 90 degrees.
i did this last year and i misdiagnosed it as lack of nutrients so i gave it more nutes, (thinking the leaves would go back to green) but i was making the problem worse , in the end it just gave up and curled up.

Thank you for the advice I have attempted to bend like you suggested. Not sure if I did it right though
