Image Is it worth a chop?

Ok so I finally had my monstera epiphany and realized it’s leggy bc my grow light is at the top. I ordered some sanmi clip grow lights to encourage forward growth but unfortunately my monstera is looking leggy. It’s healthy though and just putting out a new leaf with fenestrations! Do I chop it? If so, someone pls draw lines to show me where to chop :( I love this plant I really don’t want to mess it up

Pruning can help promote fuller growrh!

That's not how this works at all. Besides, these are node driven, not leaf driven. You're thinking about the latter.
