Is there a way to choose what inputs you use when opening channel?

Yes. However, I believe that you need to construct the funding transaction manually when using either LND or c-lightning.

c-lightning: lightning-utxopsbt, lightning-openchannel_init, lightning-openchannel_update, lightning-signpsbt, lightning-openchannel_signed

I have never tested it, so you might want to check the documentation more carefully to see if I am correct before trying it out.

Did not work, I'll have to check over the weekend when I have time to see what I did wrong.

You would think that a L2 solution that is (1) designed to save people money in tx fees and (2) is supposed to increase privacy would have a simple way to select the UTXOs you want to use.
