I wouldn't go as extreme as starting again! You could pull all those plants out, clear the algae from them and the substrate and then replant within an hour. It looks like its all cyano, which will come off plants if you just gently swill them in a bucket, or even use your fingers (carefully!). The substrate should be pretty easy too.
I'd wait until after the water clears up though.
and your powerhead is STILL not pointing the right way. I think you're misunderstanding "pointing the same way." People don't mean point it so that the water jets collide. They mean the water should all be moving in one direction. So put your powerhead on the same piece of glass as your outlet, and point it to the front of the tank, like the outlet.
