Let them suck up that light, that's why they're big. Imagine them as large solar panels on your roof, you don't want to remove the largest one right? Looks like you're trying to do too much, just let it grow. Just my 2 cents. I pluck leaves like that when it starts to flower, not alot just enough to allow more light below. If the leaves in Q sre discolored it makes the decision easier.
