I'm trying to find a plant that I can plant along my hardscape that can tolerate high, direct lighting. For a look, I would really like a Buce or Nana Petite, but in my experience, planting these under strong light is asking for BBA. What I definitely don't want is a stem that will grow too tall in front of the hardscape, or something that I will need to trim every week. Im sorry if I'm being vague, but I'm struggling to word the look I would like. It's easiest to say that I would like something that would look like a small Anubias, but wouldn't be an algae magnet. Any ideas?

You can grow any aquarium plant under strong lighting. If there's algae on them, it's because of some other reason.

Look for carpeting plants, Montecarlo, HairGrass, Saggitaria etc

Glossostigma elatinoides comes to my mind. I think people seem to have forgotten this beautiful plant in recent times.

Really depends if there is co2. Hight light without co2 for most of those carpet plants mentioned is a recipe for algae since they will grow slow or not at all.

A picture of the tank would help.
Dwarf Sag - not really a dwarf as it can grow to 24in
Dwarf chain sword or hair grass would work
Monte is tempermental
Crypts - some stay relatively short, C. Parva
