yes, 2x2x4 maybe more smaller plants w/ more main colas...mmm and shorten space...cfl radiate 3 inchs or so...space out accordingly...
but i have them 3 inches or so away from the plants all around..

dont touch them.tie them out of the way if need be, they are the energy factories that send energy to the floral clusters.

Well its best just to bend them out of the way if possible but if its blocking light to more than 2 tops trim it. It will slow growth for a day or 2 then be right back to normal and even bushier really.
how do they look.

yeah man your plants look fine. any bending and trimming or snipping should be done in the Vegetative state, you should plan ahead next time. 
also, a little bending or trimming in Flowering will always be at least a little detrimental to your plant growth, but bending would definitely be a lot less impacting
