You're really asking three questions here...
Wing placement?
Tank placement?
Hose routing?
--
The wing and the tank look just fine, but looks ain't what we're after
How does it trim out?
Can you reach the tank valve?
Tank and wing positioning are more operational/functional questions than "how does it look."
As for hose routing, are you asking about the HP hose or the inflator hose? The HP hose looks just fine (though my personal preference is for a downward rather than out & over routing). Your inflator's on a swivel, so "rear port" is a bit ambiguous

What Rick said about trim and reaching valves.
The basic arrangement looks like a proper starting point.
Getting a really clean hose routing on a single tank setup can be nearly impossible. What you have looks fine, unless you have ports that will allow you to bring the LP inflator hose and backup reg hose more forward, and not have the long hose pointing away from you.
The HP port is where it is, and you probably don't have many choices about that. (Where I've seen two, they are generally on opposite sides of the first stage, and you definitely don't want to move it to the other side.)
I'd get a shorter HP hose, if it were me.
It says I need a password to see the picture. On the surface, looking at the tiny picture I can see, it looks like your hoses are mostly routed..... "sub-optimally".
I'd like to help but you'll need to post better pictures to work with.
