Sealed Room: A/C + fan placement

I'm trying to figure out how to best place my fans to keep an even temperature distribute in my single handler minisplit room. This is the current setup and I just don't think its the best way: Room is 11x16

All fans are on the same wall as the handler. The A/C is set to "swing" mode switch makes it blows left-to-right and back continously, and I have the pitch set "up" so that the air isn't blown straight down on the plants (the power would blast them over).

I'm thinking if I went with something more like this (having the fans on the wall opposite of the handler, osciliating and blowing at it), it would mix the room air with the A/C air as it comes out of the handler.

Going by your sketch; mount the mini split head on the wall to the right or left of where it's shown in the sketch. The way you're showing the head will blow cool air over a hot hood. The way Im describing the air will get blown down the row in between the hoods... Mount 2 oscillating fans next to the head (one on either side) and 2 oscillating fans on the wall opposite the head.

im running the same setup basically

I gathering the minisplit is already in place and cant be moved..?

im myself am running a osc in the bottom left with about 30% of the throw of the fan hitting the southern wall... its mounted 2ft from the corner of the room on the west wall..
then I have another osc fan in the bottom right corner mounted on the south wall say 3.5 ft from the corner..

so the mini pushes straight out.. the west fan pushes the cool to the back and the south fan kicks it all around..

I myself cant mount my fans on the middle of the west and east wall they would sit right under my reflectors,, although my ac guy told me that would preferable
