I agree the stock is nice as it is. A good mix of compatible fish that are likely to work for the long haul.
If I were to add anything, it would be a few more Columbia tetras and that's it.
I do thing a tangle of thin branches coming in from the top corner was add a lot to the aesthetic and as Neil pointed out it would give the tetras a sense of security and show them off better.
IMO a good sized school of tetras in an amazon themed tank can really steal the spotlight and add enormously to a display

Thanks!.... took me a while to narrow down what SA fish I wanted that would be able to last while growing them out in 2 seperate 75s

How many more columbians would you say?
 
I thought about a spotted but wasnt sure if they hide a lot
If you have enough cover (more wood, rocks, plants etc) I think you'll be fine
 
I'd add three more angels. A trio is going to end up being a pair and a spare.

Something I have learnt over the years is not to stock a tank too quickly. Your taste in fish, or what you want from the tank will change. add a new something every few months. This way its also always changing and staying exciting.
