Yes. In your photo I see that you attached the leaf stem to the pole. You should not do that because it limits new growth on it.

So take the second higher up one off ? It was holding two that are super droopy

If it’s droopy then you should be fine until it corrects itself.

I would wait until it got a little bigger to find the main stem. Then attach in front of the moss pole.

I think so. Give it time to adjust, dont drown her. I think she'll snap back to it.
