Is My Filter In Take Too Covered Up?

I just re-arranged my aquarium decor and added in a large fake plant, however it is positioned very close to the filter intake pipe and im worried its going to restrict water movement and i'll end up with areas of water that will just sit there and wont get circulated through the filter (maybe im just being paranoid?)

Here is how it looks anyway:

No the plant isnt actually touching it.

As long as the plant isn't sucking into it and occluding flow it's just fine. It's okay to have it hidden like that. From the photo it appears good.
