I have this hammer garden here, and i noticed the flow ranges from super low flow to some swaying flow is that bad? Please someone take a look, and let me know if its too low to move them thank you.

IMO, in the first video it seems just barely ok, and in the second video seems almost no flow, I would turn it up a notch
Its driving me insane. I have one mp40 centered at 65%. And the other one at 45%. Reef crest, and constant mode on the 65% and my flow still like that i dont know how to fix this

Put an air bubbler in the tank. Seeing the bubbles will help you angle the power heads in a way to eliminate dead spots and create random bouncing flows.

Bug getting flow right is definitely a challenge that never ends. As you add corals and they grow , adjustments are always needed later on. It’s always a struggle to get the flow perfect.
