Yes that is what I did and this is the latest result. I also took the highlights down but I would really like to kill the highlights on those overexposed leaves behind the flower if possible.

As Kevin mentions in another thread, those leaves look completely blown out. "Clipped" is the technical term.
And you can say add a Lumetri effect and use the mask that comes with it to limit (and track if you need) where that effect will be placed. However ... with something where there is no data in the color channels, which is what "clipped" means ... all you do is drop into grays. There's no color there to recover.
