This I think is correct everything seems functioning correctly so far. Does this sound like the correct hook up ? Any issues ?
Any advice appreciated !

Sounds to be hooked up right but only one thing wrong. You never hook up old with new. Unless your original batteries are new and your 2nd two are exactly the same. Odds are the new batteries are better with more amps and all but they are now only as good as the weaker 2 and may not ever get a full charge. Not sure but now you may have shortened the life span of all 4. I am no expert but you might want to do some checking.
