I need help with adjusting my lighting (how it’s built).

I currently have:
(5) AI primes
(3) AI hydra (one has to be sent off to be fixed)
(2) 72” reefbrite lumi light pro

I currently have them built like the pictures attached. I’m trying to add the two bars and readjust all my lights to get the best pars. I plan on adding SPS to the back rocks up top (don’t have the pars atm).

This all being said how would yall go about adding these two bars? One on the front and one on the back, with the primes floating out and the hydras in the middle?
Or another way I thought was, Primes on the back (all 5), the hydras in the middle, and the two bars on the front!

Keep in mind this is a 350 gallon tank with a foot print of 7ft L x 3ft W x 2ft H.

If it were me, I'd add the bars one in front and one in back and angle them slightly in, this will aid in reducing shadows as corals grow out.
