Bulkhead placement

I have 2 2” bulkheads half way up my tank side wall. I am wanting to add 4 more toward the top of the tank on the same wall as the return lines for my closed loop.
Are the distances from the edge of the tank and each other ok? It’s a 1” thick acrylic panel. Or should I go with smaller bulk heads, the pump has 1.5” output but I already have the hole saw for 2”

Acrylic shouldn't really care where you put the holes so much as glass would.

I don’t know all the details on acrylic tanks, but the spacing u have would be ok on a glass tank. So it should be more then ok on acrylic.
