First pic is one of my bell pepper plants being weird. A few of them are turning red already being so small. The other two pics are my other bell pepper plants doing just right. I did also almost lose all 3 earlier this year when spider mites whacked half my population of peppers. I saved these guys trimming the top half and all the leaves. They never fully grew back much

Too small of a pot and topping them will set them back quite a bit.
here’s my bell pepper pot.

big peppers need big root systems in big pots and a big canopy of leaves
Your plants are putting all their energy into growing those peppers. Put them in a bigger pot and give them a chance to get tall with many leaves so it can support its fruit. I know it’s early for those peppers but it would be good to harvest them now so your plants can put that energy into growing taller. And please don’t top them
