angling my light?

Yes, that's a good idea. You can also lean a piece of cardboard (painted white) against the fixture to create a reflective surface, keeping more of the light on the plant.

How many watts are you running on that plant?
 
Awesome! And 390 watts. Thinking about adding either a rw-75 in the middle for more red or a new 2015 model

What sq. ft does that one plant occupy? Seems like you might be using more light than necessary. You only need 25w/sq ft at your stage of growth. Maybe 30 in flower. If you went 30 and 40 you'd be at the point of diminishing returns. I've got a feeling you're way above that now, but I can't tell how large that plant is.

It's this big lol you think I'd be fine with just one xgs? For just one plant this run?
 
I would do exactly what you're doing, but rotate both lights 90 degrees so the middle of the plant is between the middles of both of them
 
After a certain point any increase in light will produce much less of an effect on the plant. Like if you have 50 and gl to 150 watt of course you will increase yield but two of those for one plant that small i really think is a waste. After all the majority of people here use leds for their efficiency and low heat. But if you don't mind the slightly higher power bill and can handle the heat then go for it. I would tilt them on like a 30 degree angle but make sure the light path is overlapping on the middle of the plant this will get enough light to the top canopy and maximize your side/lower lighting
