Adding 660nm to Timber 3VL

As the title states I would like to add 660nm to my Timber and I can’t really decide how I want to do it. The first thing I thought about trying is the rapid led Emerson board placed under one of the rails. I’m kinda afraid it won’t be close enough to the center of the tent since it’s on the outer side of the light and won’t shine on the plants correctly. I also don’t really need the far red spectrum so I would probably use a controller or dimmer to turn that off, unless you guys think it would be beneficial. The other idea I’m thinking about is using 12 gp-x3 660nm solderless leds mounted to 2 20” heat sinks placed in between the first/second and second/third cobs to make like a double plus sign. This could become an issue later on though when I grow more than 2 plants at a time. What do you guys suggest? I’m using a 2’x4’ tent. Any and help is appreciated. Also, should 660nm be used all through flower or only during a certain time like uv bulbs?

660 red is great for all of flowering. The second d way is what I'd do. Keep it all together in one fixture.
