Placement Of Awards On Early WW2 Uniforms

Hallo,

I am putting together an officer uniform and I was wondering how and where to place orders/badges/medals. I plan on having an Order Of Lenin, Order Of the Red Banner, Order Of The Red Star, Order of Great Patriotic War, 20 year anniversay on the RKKA, Merit medal, Defense Of Leningrad, Hero Of the Soviet Union, a best scout badge (Were officers allowed this or was it for the lower ranks), Guards badge, Order Of Glory, Order of Suvorov/Kutuzov/Nevsky, along with that massive list 2 wound stripes. Also, does anyone how far up the chevrons go on the arms, I know they are fairly low, but I would like it as accurate as possible. Finally I have a wool greatcoat, and I was wondering if it had some sort of best and if it also had chevrons on the sleeves.
Any or all help would be greatly appreciated. I looked through a few books today and they were a bit of help, but all the awards were in different positions.
