Ok so same setup I'm using. You'd be amazed at what's possible on an iPhone camera. These were both done on a base model iPhone 16 using the lens kit that you are using. Not to mention, these were edited using the base iPhone photo editing software; no AI was used. I agree with @tbrown.

What I would do is use the macro lens filter, then snap either the orange or yellow filter over it. This would allow me to get up-close photos without having to zoom in so far and lose photo quality. I would try to get shots from multiple perspectives, and eventually settle on one that I would like. Once I landed on a photo I liked, I would take it into editing and edit the photo. Usually to bring out the colors, brighten up certain areas, that sort of thing. I never wanted to "over-edit," which is very common for people to do (I've done this before, and most people who do photography will do this from time to time)

I used to use a legit camera (Nikon 5600), but I find my phone is able to take better photos up close, as I don't have the appropriate lens for it
