Welcome to the forums! How old is your Chameleon? a 2'x2'x4' is an adult sized cage, so if you have a baby, it may be too big and your chameleon may have trouble finding food. You'll want to vary his food a lot, don't want to feed him the same thing all the time as they get bored of it. You can feed things like, crickets, super worms, silk worms, horn worms etc. It's a good idea to have a few different ones on hand to keep his diet varied. Can you post any pictures of your enclosure and Chameleon?

Needs a lot more plant coverage in there.

Yes, a lot more foliage and horizontal branches so he can move around and hide if he needs to.

He also needs smaller diameter branches to really be able to grip well. There are many different bend-a-vine options on Amazon which are usually cheaper than the petstores. You can attach them in your cage to create highways for your little guy, using zip ties. Just make sure to keep the ends of the zipties on the outside of the cage for his safety. Good luck with him!
