My recommendation would be a stem plant that grows with small leaves because that will give the impression of a larger tank (an example could be rotala rotundifolia).

Other thing you could do is to tie a large anubias to the driftwood and move it towards the tank wall to create a focal point

appreciate the feedback with the info on the rotala

i can't relaly do much else with the driftwood, it is 1/2 an inch from the top of the tank and touches front and back glass that tank is a 55g
