The CORD is flat surface between the end-points of the ARC facing the wall. The ARC is the curved reflective surface facing in the room.

Just to be clear, I mounted them horizontally (in a single centered line) to disperse vertically like depicted on the right side of the picture.

Normally, they are mounted vertically (in multiples) to disperse horizontally (left side of picture) which causes unwanted focused lens effects instead of even dispersion patterns.

My goal was to attenuate AND delay the 1st reflection by dispersing it across a 180 degree reflection pattern in addition to lengthen its travel path (delay its arrival simulating a wider room) by turning portions of the dispersion into 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... order reflections.

REW will show the dispersion as redistributed lower amplitude peaks indicating the energy is still in the room but decentralized pushed lower into the decay field.

The upper right reflections depict dispersed SIDE-WALL 1st reflections into Nth order reflections.
The lower right reflections depict dispersed CROSS-SIDE-WALL 1st reflections into Nth order reflections.
Similar dispersed patterns are mirrored for the left wall.
Keep in mind this is going on in 3D, not just 2D as pictured so the front to back directions are not pictured.

Didn't you just say you used an SPL to measure room nodes ? - emailtim 14:16:23 09/28/23 (1)

Yes, I use an SPL meter to map out the room. - geoffkait 10:07:58 10/05/23 (0)
