(Beginner) Right way panning VST Instruments strings/ piano.. I'm confused but what do you think about?

Discussion

I already reaad a lot and read about orchester stereo panoramic panning and so on.. Right now my Mix has following VST Instruments played in MIDI Piano Roll:

Double Note Main melody over the whole beat (loop)
- Viola Ensemble light spread Octave 3

- Single Note same melody Cello Ensemble Octave 2 panned slightly to the right (some parts verse and Chorus)

- Single Note Violins Ensemble same melody (only Chorus) Octave 4 Panned light to the left side

- Dark Acoustic Piano Progression in Ocatve 2 with three notes and pedalbass more center focused

- Subbass Octave 1 center and a Choir Pad Octave 3 wide

It's in D Minor with a BPM of 90-86. Since im a beginner and havent the best notebook i use Magix Music Maker 2016 and Adobe Audition for Stem Editing EQing things
