Recommend low light plant addition pls

When this wood sinks and I lay it down in the open centre I'm going to want some plants to fill in at the back. It's a low light tank with co2 and glut dosing and with PPS-PRO ferts.

The swords on the right are remnants of a previous setup and are slowly adjusting. I like the idea of more swords, or perhaps vals or sag but the glut may be a problem (would have to start low dosing)

I don't want to go back in to stem plants either unless someone can convince me.

Thanks in advance!

How tall is the tank? Personally, I think swords, Java Fern, and Crypts make low light tanks look the best, with Anubias accenting in the midground.

20 inches. I have crypts and Anubis but perhaps not enough Java fern. It would need to be tied to some hardscape though and I don't want to add any more to be honest.
