HI :)
For the first grow, I honestly wouldn't worry too much. You seem to be somewhat well informed already, which will definitely help along the way :)
Just let her do her thing and grow. Watch her and take notes. That's kinda what these diaries are for!
Your first few grows are going to be part of a learning process and mistakes will be made. Get to know your plant and the strain.
To get to your other questions, I would leave the fans leaves be and keep tucking them, until your plant is bigger and can afford to lose the bigger fan leaves. For now, your plant needs photosynthesis. To do that, it needs leaves.
Secondly, if your plant was just recently flipped, removing the lower nodes now could stress her even more. Remember, she is producing new hormones and having to move new nutrients (P and K). Let her do her thing another week or so and then remove the lower nodes and foliage, if that was what you intended to do.
Just like a human, plants need time to work through new situations. It's best not to rush her.
Hope this helps :)
