First picture is the current one and the second one is the previous scape.

The rock on the right seems to big for this tank imo. I'm thinking of getting rid of it all together and scaping with the remaining rock. But I'm keeping it in the tank until I get my sump set up.

I've also thought of just keeping the right rock in the tank only and the rest thrown in the sump.

This new design feels more open. But it's not 100% clicking with me. Might be because all the corals are ticked.

I'm not seeing any pictures. Can you recheck your post?

Edit: to add pictures to your current post you may need to go to "edit" and then go to "more options" and add the pictures at that point. I have had challenges adding pictures on the "edit" screen.
 
This did the trick

There's just something about the scape.

I like to make it perfect, might be my perfection itch but I'm not satisified with the tank

I'm glad that we got the pictures figured out! IMO don't worry about making it perfect because it will look differently soon if you choose to add more coral - in a coral tank the rock work will be the framework not the "view". Additionally, if you are like most of us then you will be tweaking the aquascaping anyway either for a change for you, for your corals, or for your fish.

Both of the pictures have positives - personally I am partial to the second picture that is more of an arch.
 
I like your new scape. Peace River is right though about the loss of details as your corals grow. Your new scape makes what should be a notable change in the basic structure of your space. You have moved the rock off center and varied its heights so you get closer to the Golden Ratio of 5:3--always pleasing. If you angle it slightly so it does not run parallel to the front glass you will also achieve more visual depth--something a lot of us forget to do.
