Shin Tool Arrangement

So I've noticed this vary in original photos (especially for SE Fett), and I've also seen it differ between
troopers in the field...

Is there a definitive post on shin tool arrangement? And would it vary per Boba version?

I'm an approved SE Boba Fett. My usual arrangement has been:

Left Leg Outer: Survival Knift
Left Leg Inner: Anti Security
Right Leg Outer: Sonic Beam
Right Leg Inner: Jetpack Adjustment

I'm sure there's been a time or two where I've reversed something, especially for instances where we've had limited time to suit up.

Just curious what the consensus is...
 
There is a lot of variation, so I just chose one. I went with this picture, as far as where they sit and detail coloration. It is actually the same tool layout you mentioned, except with no jetpack adjustment tool.

I used to just place them wherever when I went to troops (and the largest tool had a different version paintjob to it), but then earlier this year I decided to go with one specific layout, and then repainted the details on the large tool to match the above picture.

Here is an image I compiled a while ago:

Some of the tools are pretty constant on most of the suits, while others change their position more frequently.

For the ROTJ SE you could use this setup:

So where does the "jetpack adjustment tool" come into play? I mean the 4th tool that most people use... the simple rod with the cloverleaf end?
