Is this the correct location of the holders for the luggage net in the trunk?

When i bought my car all of the holders for the luggageet in the trunk was taken off.

I have put them back on where i think they are supposed to be placed but i am not sure that that i have placed them on the correct position

On the picture to the left is the net that sits closest to the front of the car where the holders are marked with 4 red arrows
I am pretty sure this is the correct location for the holders for the net

On the pic to the right is the net on the right hand side in the trunk also marked with 4 red arrows but i am not sure if the holder for the net is supposed to be placed over the 12 volts supply

Can any of my fellow member check that i have placed the holders for the 2 nets on the correct location in the trunk?

they are correct.
I find the larger net almost worthless at the far back of the trunk. I bought a bigger net and attached it's loops to the two vertical pillars (far left and far right) at the near end of the trunk. Great for groceries and bottles and I don't lean over so far to dig them out. I've had some Cadillacs with the net positioned just inside the trunk and that was very handy. The net does not interfere with the trunk operation.

Thanks for helping me moretech

I suppose the "inner" net is not the most practical
