Beginner Seeking Advice on Equipment and Room Setup

I would like to suggest the such a positioning for your room.
Thank you for taking the time to rearrange the plan! I'm considering this layout for sure. Aesthetics is quite important to me so the appearance of how it all looks in the end has some weight in the deciding process as well.
The second, subs not should be placed far away from main speakers, because they will blur the stereo image.
Is this true even with DIRAC optimization?
You need to place curtains at left wall
There will be two layers of curtains in front of the glass wall although neither is particularly thick. Hoping that will do the trick but we'll see.

DIRAC optimizing is good method, if you are sure, that subs bandwidth is stable and has cut off the frequencies higher the upper limit. You know, I mean, that in theory low frequencies sources can not be recognized in the room. The stereo image is determined by only midrange and high frequencies values. But in practice we always have "dirty output" and it leads to dimming of stereo image. If you will place your sub far away from main speakers you have a risk to dim the stereo image.
For curtains it is more important to have folds, then more dense fabric. Ordinary it means 1 : 3 (fabric producers know, what it means) and more. But I repeat, that you don't need to use it for all the glass surfaces. Because good acoustics in the room is good balance between sound absorption and reflection.
