Banana plant for the front of the tank on the right.

More anubius nana at the front.

Jungle Val along the back.

Amazon sword in the back right corner.

Limnophila Sessiliflora is a cool low-medium light plant too so look into that one.

I really like all those plants!! The only question is where should I put more Anubias as all my driftwood is covered for the most part?

Anubius can be planted in the substrate. As long as you only plant the roots and not the thing that the leaves are attached to (forget the name) you can plant them in the sand. I've had mine like this for months and its growing great.

I'll probably get 1 or 2 more Anubias nana or Anubias nana petite...,
Do you believe dwarf sage can work in my tank?

You need a Crypt or 3 ?

C balansae for the back
C wendti Mi Oya for the center
C parva for the front
C lucens
Etc...

Root tabs every 3-4 months ?

Crypts are heavy rootfeeders, just like swords. So i would highly recommend tabs yeah!

There are a huge variety of Crypts.
C parva are tiny and can stay in front
C wendtii are good mid tank
C balansae are good for background

Swords need root tabs like crypts. They are very dependent on root feeding. Some good sword species are Amazon, dwarf, and ocelot.
