Well I can’t see your lifts so I can’t tell you exactly what you need to do. But what I was said is true. As long as the muscle group is engaged together and your form is solid and you’re breathing and bracing, it sort of doesn’t really matter. I know guys who use a narrow grip and blast bench into oblivion; same for guys with a wide grip. I will say don’t go too wide. It will limit your range of motion and you won’t get the benefit of using all of the muscles you can. Super wide grips are used by powerlifters for one rep maxes. Not necessarily what you want to do during training.

I retired on the aide of too narrow for that reason.
I think I'll go pinky on ring and see how it goes. Then maybe middle finger.

Really it's about proportions. If you're 5'5, you're going to set up on a different spot than if you're 6'2 for maximum efficiency. I'm short, and I set up about a pinky width inside of the 'bands'. Someone that's 6'0 I'd imagine should generally set up with pinky just past the ring reference.
I'll say most people, in my opinion, trend to too narrow rather than too wide. Go as wide as you can; when it's uncomfortable, that's when you know you're just past where you should be.

I had a good side/rear-delt focused session on Saturday and really felt it Sunday.
Added reverse incline fly, laying down face pulls, wide grip bent over barbell rows to the typical back routine and it worked. Soreness I've not felt before. I think this helped my chest session yesterday as today I'm sore for the first time in forever in my pecs.
Yesterday went -
Bench:
275x3
275x6 (rep PR)
245x6
Close grip incline dumbells
Pec deck flies
Cable flies
Tricep rope

3 SSB low box squat singles over 90%.
3 giant sets of pin squats (did reverse lunges last set), sissy squat, good morning and hip thrusts.
Got started late, so that was it.

Squat - 185, 4x3, 1x9
Bench - 115, 3x10
Lat Pulldown - 55, 2x15, 1x25
Leg Extension - 15, 2x15
Face Pulls, 15, 2x15
I only added face pulls into my workout last week but have already noticed a difference in my lat Pulldowns. Not sure if I'm doing either of the lifts incorrectly, but I am hopefully assuming the light pullaparts are enhancing my upper back/shoulders/etc. which is helping my lat Pulldowns.

3 sets of 225x3 two count paused bench in giant sets with shoulder complex sled drags, sandbag rows and fat grip DB holds.
2 more giant sets of SSB JM presses (the EliteFTS yoke bar is actually great for these), face pulls, side laterals, curls, dips, weighted pushups and fat bar wrist roller.
Upper body tabata air bike to finish.

It’s been a while since I stayed so sore. I did squats on Monday, and I’m still stiff.
