So im switching from my 600 watt king led (def. Not 600 watts) to a 320 watt kingbright (i believe thats the actual output. My plants are roughly 2-3 weeks old. Will that stress the guys out if I have them 15 inches away from the biggest one and cranked up to the highest setting?

Yes, you're probably gonna stress them out big time at full power and 15" away.

These lights are potent so be careful.
Thats why I got them. My kingled is great until it hits flowering. I only got 1oz off two plants last time! They were talk and looked good though. So I got a bigger gun . Do you think dimming to half way is good. I think my kingled is 20,000 lumens. Should I aim for 30,000 lumens?

Download a free LUX app for your phone. That will give you an idea.

Already ahead of you. I cranked her down to 29,000 lumens. The original light was running around 20,000 so that should be a bad jump. Mabe after 3 days or so crank her up a little mabe 35,000 lumens? Or whats your suggestion

I start them high and let the plants adjust and grow into it.

lux isn't everything. The reason you got such a poor yield wasn't the amount of power but the spectrum that it puts out.
