Rooftop solar

Going to add another panel to existing. Same panel/manufacturer. Walk on roof with thin covering over it. I want new panel just to the left of original panel about where red dot is, see picture.
Can I just install it, screw it down? Does it have to be in a certain spot?
Jayco sent me the schematic below but I have no idea how to read it.

I have a 3/8" plywood covered, arched roof on my 2016 Jayco TT. I just drilled down into that through the rubber membrane to attach the four solar panels I put on my roof without concern for joists. I've put about a thousand miles on it with most of those being speeds of 50-70mph. Nothing is loose. Click image for larger version
