[Endgame] Why did this happen the exact same way 3 different times?

I'm talking about the order of the stones in the gauntlet. With Thanos, it made sense. As he got them, he filled them in. But then after they collect the stones in Endgame and assemble it, they put it together in the exact same way as Thanos, just inverted because it's for a different hand. Then, when Tony gets the stones from Thanos in the finale, he once again assembles them in the exact same way. I highly doubt anyone took the time to memorize what order the stones where on the Gauntlet during Infinity War. So how and why did they assemble it the exact same way 3 different times?

It could very well be that they assumed the order had significance to how the stones function together.  Obviously, something as powerful and far-reaching as the snap is the stones playing off of each other's power; So, they may have thought the order was important.

It's not far fetched that Tony might have looked back at recordings taken by his suit to see what order the stones were in on the gauntlet.
