Tbf, even the “right” way to balance 7 tubes in 24 slots is a bit cursed of you don’t look at it as a superposition.
But you’ve got 3 tubes in an equilateral triangle and 2 pairs mirrored across the center, so we’re all good here.
I am not scienced enough to comprehend. :'(
Centrifuge spins really fast so you need to balance where you put the samples, or else it will vibrate. The trick is to put them on the opposite side or equally spaced apart from each other.

How do they know if it’s balanced or not? Would they need do the math manually?
It’s just one equilateral triangle and then two pairs. The specific slots the opposing pairs are in don’t matter. You can see that each sample of the triangle has a gap of 7 slots between each other.
