Top LED is black magic brand. Side LEDs I got from home depot, they are 19 W. What do you mean by "top your plants"?

My thoughts? Dump the shelving unit and hang the light from the ceiling with adjustable ratchets. You‘re going to need more light. How many plants are in the big pot? Looks to be about 8. You’re going to have problems with that down the road. Those are big pot for those plants. Be careful not to over water.

You need triple the amount of light you are running
Just because it seems bright to the eye does not mean it will appear bright to your plants

MORE LIGHT

I am currently bringing all the plants outside for sunlight 8 hours a day and then putting them back on the rack with the LEDs for 16 hours a day. Still need more light? I've already spent 200 on the three LED systems.

You should want 35 to 50 watts, actual coming the wall watts, per square foot. I would go for the more the better when it comes to light.
Your space looks to be 2x4??? 300 watts anyhow.

Even with leds.
