I just created this new scape I used some live rock from my other tanks and dropped it right in to my nano tank. What do you guys think should I add more height or what?

Aquascapes are SUPER subjective. Currently Im not super happy with my scape as I feel like its a bit....uninteresting. Albeit it has potential for growth (literally). I think yours could use a bit more height and that left rock is a bit out of plance imo but that all depends on what you plan to put in the tank. If you have a vison, go for it!
 
I think it looks really good. You don't want symmetry in my opinion; anyhow, once stuff starts growing out on it it will look really nice.
+1 Yup! Dont get too caught up by rock scapes as most of it will be covered by coral! Just make sure the rock will be able to showcase said coral well as thats pretty much the primary purpose of aquascapes for most tanks.
 
I have yet to be happy with any scape I have ever created. I think your scale will be a great base for coral growth. Hard to not get totally consumed by wanting your rock to look like the finished product.
I come from a freshwater background so when first getting into reefing, I never understood the concept of aquascpaing for corals not for looks. My first scape (scraped it, thank God) was really interesting but gave no potential for coral growth. Something I needed to relearn haha
 
Sounds like you may be happier with a little more vertical structure? At the end of the day, it all comes down to what you like best. I personally might add an additional cave or pass-through for the finned friends, but I agree that when the corals start coming in it will fill in nicely.
