How far apart should the speakers be?

I have Era 100SL as front and Era 300 as surround and Sub 3 and original Arc as a setup.
My question is how far apart the left and right speakers should be from the sound bar or total dista between them. Same goes for rare channel.
I am asking because i recently increased the distance between the front speakers and it sounds a bit better now. I am thinking of doing the same with rare but they are screwed to the wall so i am asking you guys here first before i drill more holes

Last week i bought Era 100SL as my front channel and this is how my setup looks. I did true play as a stereo pair for both 100s in the Sonos original app. After that i connected them via SonosSequencr App and now they are fine. But when i did the true play they were a bit close to the soundbar. And now i have pushed them away from soundbar and i also change the direction of my Sub.
My questions are:
1- Are the front speakers enough far apart from the soundbar or should i move them to the edge and bring the plant and the sub closer to soundbar? Meaning i can switch the 100s with the planter and Sub to reach the edge. Idk how much distance do we need from soundbar so that front speakers can have better sound quality.
2- Since i already move the speakers a bit to the edges in the photo and i changed the direction of Sub, should i redo the TruePlay? And if yes then do i need to reconnect all the speakers to the Sonos app and do the True play there and then use the TruePlay option in Sequencr app?
