In my experiences, montis can adapt to nearly any conditions. If you like it this way, just let it be and it will grow.:)

It's looking more grayish than green.

It could be due to transport/acclimation. But as I said, I have never had issues with montis (except for MENs). I believe they will adapt.
I like them lower so they don't shade things as they grow. Anything under it will be wasted space, Only to be shelter for fish.Is this too high?

That being said, they do need adequate light.
I wouldn't put them under less than 100 PAR.
True, but being they plate, they are also better at capturing light. My green plating monti is at about 100par.

I've had a few montis turn dull brown just to come right back when they had the right lighting and parameters.
I actually use them to judge the tank at a quick glance. If my orange monti cap is looking a bit dull I do some testing to make sure things aren't off. It has usually been a great indicator of my alk slipping one direction or the other.

Parameters are all good.
Not sure what PAR it's at under 1 AI Prime but they max out at 90

I found my coral banded shrimp seems to like the over hang
Yes, mine too. Always under there until night fall. Then he's on the prowl.
