Centering the Belt

[JBar[TK]]

For my WTF kit, the center of the Ab Plate and the Ab Armor "stripe" is centered. This made the belt placement easy for centering. However I've noticed that other armor kits such as RS have the Ab Plate and Strip off centered. In those cases where is the best placement of the center of the belt?

Here's mine (left) vs RS (right)

 

Here are some movie and reference pics

 

I feel like there are different placement examples depending on which reference shot you're looking at. Sometimes the belt is aligned in the center of the Ab Plate. Other times it's centered under the ribs of the plate. And furthermore sometimes it's aligned down the middle of the armor. Anyway just wondering if there is a consensus on the best practice of where to place the belt depending on the armor maker

 

Should you try to align the center of the belt so that it goes down the center of the Ab Plate or under the ribbed area so that it's closer aligned down the middle of the Ab Plate raised edge? I never had to guess because my WTF kit appears to be a more straight shot

Really would depend on how the armor was made, raised cod area centered or offset, most makes of armor appear to have the raised area of the cod offset to the abdomen (like screen references), but some are centered like my ATA 

 

Screen used raised cod ridge offset

 

Some align the belt to the center of the the abdomen, some align the belt to the center of the raised cod ridge (under ab plate ridges) the later being more screen accurate

Most also having their belt centered to the large ab plate.

 

If your armor has the offset raised cod area then you could definitely make it absolute screen accurate, but if you have the centered raised cod area you are stuck, you can't bring it over as it would interfere with your thigh gap.
