my kenya tree is leaning over. He looks healthy other than that. He is a new addition to my tank. I have tried him in both high light high flow and lower flow low light. Same result.

They don't need much light at all but they are pretty much bulletproof. Just let it be where it is. It would prefer lower flow and light
 
Give it time with no disturbance, they are pretty tolerant to different lighting, flow. Let it be and soon you will be cursing it for dropping new pieces all over the place, lol.

Haha!
 
The amount of lights dictates its growth. More light means more growth, and more growths somewhere else too. In my tank, they can grow 18 inches in height in 10 months. I wouldn't recommend a kenya tree placement on main rock works, when they sway it irritates other corals. Put it on a piece of rock and isolate it in an area where it can dance with the waves without touching other corals.
 
Just give it time to get use to its new settlement. It is very common for kenya trees to become deflated when the water condition has changed.
