Do you mean that it’s reaching for the light? Yes, that’s normal. If the light is directly above, you could lower the light closer to the plant. All plants will reach for the light source as it’s one of the most critical things we’ve got to get right to keep plants thriving

Yep it’s normal. I use a strong grow light for mine to get all the leaves to point in the same direction lol
