It's confusing. Are the products apples?

Can someone arrange the apples in three rows of three apples on the shelf?

three rows of four = 12 products
0000
0000
0000

two rows of five = 10 products

Please arrange the apples in three rows of four.

You just confuse things by adding “apples each”.

Can i use either put or place instead of arrange in the same way ?

put is possible but not idiomatic.

place is possible, but the best word is arrange.

(IMHO)
