If you like the placements of the swords than I would recommend leaving them where they are for two reasons. It would disturb their growth if you pulled them up and if for any reason in the future you decide to move them or pull them out entirely it will make it significantly easier.
Usually its more important to pull the plastic pot off more to remove as much of the rock wool that usually is inside that pot off the plant because rock wool can store disease and many other things that you might not want in your tank. This shouldnt be a concern now as the plants have had time to establish themselves any problems should have shown up within that time.
Thanks
