I have a 86”x48”x30 530g tank. The two blue returns on both side. The pink and green are fx280 gyre. Blue arrows for direction of flow. What do you think?

Peninsula style tank.

Generally, you want to aim across tank at each other to have the flow bounce off each other and cause a gyre effect
 
On my 6' tank I use 2x fx330 gyres and 2x mp40s. I positioned the gyres to stand up like you have the pink on my peninsula end, I just aim the gyres at the top to the top of my rocks and the bottom toward the glass to I have flow down low in the reef. Basically I'd do it the same way in yours stand 2 of the gyres up and aim the top part at the top of your rock work, aim the bottom of the gyres towards the glass. It let's you see the peninsula end better also.
