 Fan leaves growing above plant tip

I noticed that with my veg lights(just a few CFL), my largest set of fan leaves from the top are sometimes growing upward above the growing tip, especially with topped/FIM plants. I've been bending the high growing fan leaves down below the top, but I was wondering if that's actually more beneficial for the yield?
I feel like if I don't bend the fan leaves down on my FIM/topped stuff, they will grow needlessly large and become the assumed top of the plant. I guess the plants dna keeps the fan leaves from growing past a certain size I just don't know if I should be bothering pulling the high growing leaves down.

wait, wtf are you talking about?
Like the fan leaves are growing straight up above the rest of the plant. I bend them down to a horizontal position but maybe 24 hours later they are aiming straight up rather than out to the side. I should really tie them down.
I'm mainly wondering if the plant can assume the fan leaves are the top of the plant and suppress the part of the plant that grows out and flowers. Wtf do people call the stems that flower/bud?
2 plants here. The foreground(the green looking one) plant is normal and the backround(looks white from light reflection) plants top fan leaves are starting to go upward. The backrounds top fan leaves will eventually be going almost completely vertical, and that's my concern.
btw if anyone cares the front is sage and sour and back sinmint cookies.

So the fan leaves can't be confused as the top of the plant? or even slow down or prevent potential growth of what should be the top of the plant? I was under the impression that the intended top of the plant would take a lot longer to grow or even not grow as much if the fan leaves were above it.
This pic is the result of constantly pulling the largest top fan leaves below the tip on a FIM attempt(might have screwed up). Also had been pulling down those smaller fan leaves, but both just go back to standing straight up.
damn auxin

Cool thanks. that's pretty much exactly the answer I was hoping for. They def aren't deficient of magnesium. They get molasses and cal mag.
Oddly they haven't grown straight up since the OP, but had for maybe 2 weeks prior.

Yea I guess PH can also effect certain uptake. well I'm not too worried. It was just bothering me not knowing if the fan leaves being so high up would slow growth of the apical meristem or the axillary/lateral buds. Thanks again.
