Default Correct Jack Stand Spots?

So I am super new to working on cars. I am not the least experienced person in the world for working on machines, as I had a 2007 GSXR a while back (before some guy tried to kill me on it) and did much work on that. But I never had to put it on jack stands of course! I know there's an official thread regarding jack stand points and all but I just wanted to make sure I've got it 100% correct because sticking my head under a 2000 pound object is a little scary! So, do I have them in the right spots? Please go easy on me if I do not! Thanks!!!

In your photos it is clear that you are NOT using the correct jack points.

In one of your photos you can see the correct pinch weld where the jack should be. You can also clearly see frame rail damage from using inappropriate jack points.

Use your search engine. This has been discussed ad nauseum in many threads of S2Ki. Read the posts and use only the factory approved jack points. There are six - two on each side, and one at each end for lifting with the floor jack. None of these are in use in your photos.
