Default Brake shim installation arrangement

I'm a newbie.
Just bought a used 2007 Accord. The brake pad kit I bought (oem) has six shims in it, three a wheel. The pads on the car are somekind of noname aftermarket that squeal and grab . They have to come off.
Anyway what is the correct arrangement of the shims in the caliper? One on the outside ,one on the inside with the wear noise maker inside or out?
Any diagrams or pictures available?

Thanks

I think #2 shows them in the proper order. Looks like the big one goes outboard, & the 2 smaller ones inboard.

Thanks--It was just what I needed.
Is the goo packed with the Honda OEM shims for the backs of the pads, or for the slide pins? I always used CRC red anti squeal goo on the backs of the pads, do I need it on these?
