Yes, this is how I dive.

Ring mount bungees with a buttplate

I cannot find a lot of photo about a correctly configured Stage/Deco tanks as a Sidemount

Do you have an example ? I only found a YT video from Steve Martin
(and it look pretty great for me compared to all others that do not have cleaner configuration)

I kinda appreciate your profile Signature (DIR is nice, but I rather dive DW²: “Doing What Works”!!!) if you can talk a bit more about it please.
In private if you want or maybe I open a new topic ?

I found this Dive Rite blog to be one of the best illustrations for how to set up sidemount bungies. I just recently added the ring bungles and buttplate to an O2ptima CCR, backplate, so this would be pretty much the same conversion to BM doubles.

I have also used this 'Light monkey' kit for my double 108s. It's a nice option, but will add more weight to your butt, which might help for some.

Olariuas: Halcyon plate with buttplate attachment. I have 2 sets of d-rings on my chest area. The top drings is my working area for torches, markers and safetyspool.

The lower d-rings secure the stages via the rings, the rings have bungees to the back of the plate tucking the stages tightly under/behind my armpits. I use 2 rings on each side enabling me to sidemount 4 stages (2xal40's and 2xali80's - one of each on a side). I use bungee chokers on the valves to keep them nice and close to the rings. Then diving with 2 stages on a side, I will unchoke the al40 to create the space the clip in an ali80.

Thank you so much this is really cool ! Thank you I really like :)

The D-ring on the buttplate is for the S40 100 O2 ?
How you secure it ?

The dring on the buttplate is to secure the bottom of the stages via boltsnap, mine is bungee based. You dont use the waste drings, you mount on the butt.
