CoA Glossary:
Arrangement. The placement of charges in a group relative to the
other charges in the group. For example, the arrangement three
roundels two and one is different than the arrangement three
roundels in fess. Arrangement is sometimes confused with location,
and sometimes with orientation. See also Location, Orientation.
So one charge cannot have an arrangement. If you mean the location:
adding the mullet means that the stag has to shift out of the way, so
that's a forced change of position, which by RfS X.4.g is not a CD:
g. Arrangement Changes - Changing the relative positions of
charges in any group placed directly on the field or overall is
one clear difference, provided that change is not caused by other
changes to the design.

That's the second CD.
On the other hand, that Uilliam of Reisling registration is an
indication that my call versus a "deer crossing sign" was probably too
strict, though unfortunately his file in the Laurel office has no
record of the College of Arms' commentary.
