Lighting position

I am using 3 flourescent light strips for vegging. I have one light on each side of my 2 plants, and 1 hanging just above them. The result is that the plant is very full from top to bottom...

However someone just told me that placing some of the lights along each side of the plants is wrong and not good for my plants. He said photosynthesis happens at the top of the plant.

Is it true that placing lights all the way around and above the plants is bad?
