Makes sense. I guess I was expecting the unbroken span of tape to be more important than where it was positioned.
I'm guessing if I put on the corner anchors first, and run them all the way to the top, then the end anchors (which is an unbroken span of tape) will go over the top of the others, keeping them in place. Another shitty photoshop attached. Each color is a different piece of tape.
