So I was looking at the long nose hawkfish, but I am scared it is going to be like the arc eye Hawkfish I used to have and it’s going to be harassing my goby and shrimp. I would hate for that to happen again. I loved my arc eye, but he was a pain in the neck lol.

I have two long nosed hawks and never have seen any problems - pretty much sit on a piece of coral while watching me! I have read where they might not be compatible with feather dusters.
Good luck, I think best thing about this stage with your tank is choosing from among the many colorful and interesting fish, inverts and coral.

If you're set on a tang check out the Yellow Eye Kole. They stay smaller than the Yellow and Tomini.
Personally though I'd steer away from a tang in your tank size. You'll eventually need to re-home it but you won't want to let it go!
To fit in with what you already have, a Coral Beauty would stand up to your clowns and they are grazers so will pick at the rock all day - once you get some algae growing.
Fairy and flasher wrasses are great but many have issues with longevity so be prepared to have possible losses for no reason.
I've been trying to keep them for nearly 8 years and can't get more than a couple years at best - even after no meds or with meds in QT.

Potter's angel, tailspot blenny as mentioned, fire fish. Flasher wrasses. A royal gramma is a beautiful and inexpensive fish too. Orange back fairy wrasse. I had an orange back and a fire fish that shared a barnacle at night, it was very cute.
A yellow-eye kole might work as it stays on the smallish side but make sure the rock work is open and it has room to swim. Even then, I'd be on the fence about adding one.
