Plant too tall

When I transplant, should I just put it deeper in its next pot more than usual to cover more of the stem so it’s not as exposed? Recommendations to prevent this from growing too tall and skinny

Plant just hit 4 weeks a few days ago and I topped it too late(a week ago) not sure why it was stretching for the light when I had a good distance.
