Question on booth lighting

I am working my way through the classroom modules. I don't have my booth built yet, but I have a plan. I've got a dozen 2x4 ft LED flat panel lights ordered from Home Depot that I plan to use for lighting (5000K, 7800 lumens). My booth will be 12x24 ft, so I was thinking of putting 4 lights vertically on each side, 2 longways on top, and one horizontally on each end, at a 45 degree angle up tight to the ceiling. Does that sound light it would work? Any and all suggestions appreciated.

Also, in the tutorials, it was mentioned, "Make sure that your side lights are positioned at 20-40° angles, so defects create shadows you can actually see." Does that apply to flat panel lights, too, or am I overthinking things, as I tend to do?

Thanks.
