Hello I’d like to start removing some of the bottom leaves and fan leaves that I feel are blocking flower sites from receiving light
I’m just unsure where to start I don’t want to pull parts that will damage or stress the plant out.
Also does the trellis look like its needs adjustment should I move it lower or higher

If your gonna lollipop I'd wait untill stretch is over and start with the lower canopy for better air flow
For the upper canopy try to tuck the big fan leaves my advice is to strip any lower bud sites so the plant puts its energy into the more dominant top sites hope that makes sence don't strip to much at once take a few thing every other day so you don't stress her out to much

Fan leaves don't really block light and calyxes don't photosynthesize.

I'd prune weak lower growth and spread the plants out with more LST or super cropping.

Encourage more branching and opening the plant up to more light. I still see your floor, that light could be hitting the leaves you want to remove instead.

How is your air circulation?
 
So I plucked these two with my nail I notice one of them are close what looks like a bud/flower site
I’m unsure whether this will stunt the plant I only ripped two off didn’t wanna stress out to much or start removing things I’m not suppose too
These two leaves were covering the majority of the canopy
