anything below bend will be severely impacted, fwiw. Often best to just lop them off if you LST. try to bend in a few places close together to get that good bend without damaging the vascular tissue too much. secure plant with other fingers or even a second hand. bend, move up a tiny bit, bend, move up a tiny bit, and bend. if you feel vascular tissue crussh, too much pressure. it'll be fine though. Just try to get it as low as possible on plant and make a nice fairly even resulting plant. You can bend it down between axilary growth and have both buds grow out instead of pruning any facing down, they'll be facing sideways and both easily grow vertically. You'll probably have more growth than you can use, either way. Don't be afraid to prune soem areas, if needed.
the anchor is great, that'll prevent it from being uprooted or creating more of an angle than a bend, which won't give as even of growth.
continue to manipulate apical dominance. simply put, tallest growth node on plant will always take the most resources and grow the fastest. Bending it below other nodes will shift those resourecse. Sometimes this is a permanent tie-down, other times it's just temporary. even mix in topping if it makes sense. Topping is a great option to mix in. Say you want to slow down something doinating and also need an extra vertical cola in that area, topping is a perfect option. I wouldn't top anything that isn't at least sharing apical dominance. *if this is an autoflower, stick to LST only.
