Woo hoo.. a correct answer. :)

At the bottom you see the O2 sensor connector.
That's pushed on one of those studs that hang down from
the oil pan. Rather than make many different setups
for each production vehicle they simply put studs where
they would be needed no matter what vehicle the engine
will be installed in.

OK, I'll buy that.
Consequently it doesn't matter if they go back in the same pattern.

No but what does matter is that they get the proper torque.

As long as they support what ever you need hanging off
them. I'd dry-fit everything first just to make sure.

And step the torque so the gasket and flange don't get squooshed
out.
