Can you put the 2 top stems alittle closer to the plank? But it looks good to me..

Or \*pole..

The plant controls where those leaves and petioles face, if the light the plant had was coming from directly above, the plant would direct the petioles more vertically to face the leaves closer to the light, but it looks like this one gets light from a more horizontal angle (which is how most people light their monstera)

I would move the top Velcro down to one node lower than the bottom one. The top one might restrict movement on the top petiole which can cause mild issues over time.
