Mini Medals on a tuxedo

[Bassana]

My wife and I are attending a local Marine Corps ball. All proceeds will be donated to local wounded Marines, Veterans and their families. I have seen several different ways for Veterans like myself to wear mini medals on their tuxedo. My question is: Does anyone have specifics on how they are to be worn? ie measurements, on the lapel or not....etc
Thanks

5. Wear on Civilian Evening Clothes

a. Males. Miniature medals may be worn on the left lapel of the civilian evening coat on ceremonial occasions, but only when strictly appropriate to the occasion. On the full dress and tuxedo coats, miniatures will be worn centered on the wearer's left lapel, placed horizontally and one inch below the end of the collar gorge. The top edge of the holding bar will completely cover the buttonhole. If current styles preclude wearing on the lapel, miniatures will be placed in the same relative position as if there was a lapel
