I want to add some summer hops but when would be best and how much? I have 40g of them.

Summer hops in my opinion are quite delicate and would probably get lost with the styrians, you could stick them in last 5 mins and will get some aroma from them.

Would dropping the styrian and adding say 30g of the summer hops in the last 5 mins work? maybe, adding the other 10g at flame out?

You could but I would be more tempted to save them for another brew maybe with saaz a blonde perhaps, your recipe looks fine as it is and I was rather under whelmed by summer they don't bring a lot to the party but maybe I have been spoilt with NS and galaxy
