Their version has the skimmer on the left wall.
the snarky comment is regarding my suggestion with skimmer on the bottom wall.
I have no problem spending another couple hundred to add a third skimmer if it helps.

A third skimmer buys you nothing.
This version has the skimmer nicely in the shallow end...

almost shifting it one panel the left might be best too. then its centered in the shallow end. like someone else said, i believe its just being placed in an 8' panel that i could located wherever once it arrivesA third skimmer buys you nothing.

How much leaf debris will the pool get?
If you will get a lot of leaf debris, then I would go for 3 skimmers.
For low debris, then go for 2 skimmers.
3 skimmers would require more flow for skimming, so it would cost more for power.
2 skimmers is more efficient.
3 skimmers are less likely to get overwhelmed/clogged by leaf debris.
If you do three skimmers put them wherever you feel is best.
Probably one on the long wall would be good.
Get a 3 hp variable speed pump and a 420 sqft cartridge filter.

probably a fair amount of leaves in fall. i do have a surface robot for it. I do have a 3hp variable speed. i'm going with sand so i dont have to redo the plan and payment etc. i know everyone has their preferred filter method.
