I’m curious as to what my light brightness should be at for best flowering results and how far away should my light be ? I’m barley about to flip and don’t wanna mess up

A good start is looking at what the manufacturer recommends, impossible to give you even a guess, since you don’t say what kind of light (HPS, LED, T-5, etc.) or the brand/model of the light. But start with the maker’s recommendation.

If you really do not wanna mess the lighting aspect up I highly suggest if you can afford it a ppfd meter, they are about 100$ on amazon or on a budget you can get a decent lux meter for 30$ and do the simply the conversion from Lux to Ppfd. Enjoy!

Yeah honestly up to 100 -+ ppfd margin of error is still pretty good for being free
