No. It would be stupid to shoehorn a scene where he literally has the plans in his grasp and for whatever reason does not use the force to grab them after literally showing the audience that he can just do that!
You can't have it both ways. You can't justify his lightsaber wielding "badass-ery" saying he is angry and desperate to get the plans, and then excuse him for not actually doing it when he has the chance. They're literally right there! Why go on a rampage and then not actually secure them? That's why the scene is so disjointed.
There could have been a myriad of ways of having a Vader cameo at the end of Rogue One to segue into a New Hope. Having the scene that they chose completely betrays the tone set at the start of a New Hope, and moreover is completely flawed from a basic storytelling premise as it doesn't add up.
Tbf he rampages a lot in Rebels destroying ships and fighters, and anything in his path.
As for the plans he is busy killing rebel fighters at the time who are shooting at him, he is hardly gonna be just stood there using the force to get them while being shot at.
It as decent an ending as you could get that didn't change the link to the next film as the plans ended up where they needed to be with leia
In my opinion.
