I seen your post last night, hoping someone with more experience will help you out. What's cool about lst is the fact you can uniquely shape it anyway you like it. I felt the same way when I first did that to my plant, couldn't find any pics similar to mine using the search option. Looked a little sad, but within a day she perked up and everything was facing up towards the light. So I assume your plants by now is doing the same. Just be careful when adjusting, and baby it. I enjoy doing it, I'll just sit and stare at it for a minute and come up with a plan when adjusting. The important part is to maintain an even canopy and you'l see that as it grows. If I'm not mistaken, the idea is to fill your whole container to take advantage of all your space. I can be wrong, but that's what I'm trying to do. I don't think yours look bad, you have the right idea. Every one will have a unique shape and can look way different from what your plant is. I wouldn't stress about it bro. I felt I did mine wrong too because all I can find was LBH's famous four way lst. Do a google search and look at the images. You will find many different shapes on how people lst their plants. Even using the search bar on this site, you will find unique picture on how people lst their plants. Here's a pic from the beginning when I first started the training, and another pic how it looks like currently. I think the most important part is to just take your time and be gentle. Hope this helps, and you'l starting feeling more confident as you go. This is my point of view, and if there is any more advanced growers to correct me, listen to their advice lol. Add a couple tags to this post, so people can find it in the search bar.

As Kingsblend420 said, it's a good idea to sit back and see where the plant should go. It's not necessary to make the entire bend in one pull. You can anchor several branches at lights on and by the end of the day you might be able to ratchet each branch down a little more. If not, no biggie. There's always tomorrow. Remember that the 'LS' in LST stands for Low Stress so go easy on her and you should be just fine.
@Kingsblend420 That's exactly what happened, overnight a bunch started reaching for the sky. I have 2 Gorilla Glue seedlings and I've planted them closer to the edge of the pot to have more LST room. I needed to start, I think, a little later than I did with these.
Meanwhile, these get left alone until I get some height, then just out from the center.
