45 gallon tall aquascape iwagumi style! planting what plants?

Hi guys,
so i just got done aquascaping my 45 gallon tall iwagumi style, I like how it looks so far, maybe you guys have any suggestions to add or change it differently, but my main question is what plants to put in it, i have micro sword maybe for carpet but have been looking at others tht might look better, nd also tall background plants tht would look good, i have a Amazon sword id like to use, so yeaiff you guys have any suggestion it'd be great! thanks :)

I like the look! I may see it different when planted but it looks like it would fit with very low carpet plants and sparse mid-sized.

The clover one or marsilea crenata doesn't grow its four leaved look underwater. I was left disappointed by this
