Did I put my RO back together properly?

Had a small leak in one of the fittings after I set up my RO/DI and disconnected a few. I am 99.9% sure this is correct, just looking for verification.
Red supply, black waste, blue product

Just not sure if I have the two (four)outlets of the ro correct

Ok, lets talk about my setup in general. Brand new. Hooked up today. 6 stage "plus" from BRS. Sediment, two 1 micron carbon, two ro, two mixed DI.

House pressure is about 69psi. After the sediment and carbon, the pressure going into the RO is 54. Is this adequate for the duel setup? Should I get a booster pump?

TDS out of RO is 16. Zero out of DI

@griss would love your thoughts
 
Yup. Was just going to reply to myself again.

I questioned the pressure because when I watched This video to make sure I hooked it up correctly he mentions 65psi (gotta sell products!). I eventually realized that if I'm getting 0tds a pump would only make water faster...
 
Optimal psi is 60. Residential units can function between 40-80. Lower psi will mean a bit more tds out of the membrane. My psi is 70-80 on my unit. Depending on the temp of the source water, I get 5-10 tds out of the membrane. The higher tds out of the membrane, the faster you’ll go through DI resin.

Also, as @wvned mentioned and you agreed, higher psi = faster production.
