Just from looking at your plants, are they stretching? The one in front left looks like it. If so, it's looking for more light intensity. Are you growing autos or photoperiods?

Yea, it looks like they are stretching but it's past (my bad at the beginning). For now there is above optimal lumens for that area (50x50cm).

I need to add more soil and it is should be fine.
For now there is 2 autos and the rest are "normal" plants.
As a curiosity I can tell there is 2 hempy buckets :)

But I still no got answer to my question, is that angle / placement of LED is corrent/good? :)
 
The angle of the LED is fine. The plants will still be able to use it's energy, and having it shine horizontally will provide ample intensity to the lower parts of the plant that will later enhance blooming. Best of luck!
