Which Sli Slot To Install Gtx 1070

Slot
Can someone explain to me the recommended slots to use for 3 way SLi under the new X99 Deluxe? I am reusing my 3xTitan from my Rampage Extreme Black to x99 Deluxe. I have EK waterblocks and Bridge installed, and they are evenly spaced, and were running at 16/16/8 on the Black Board.
But some how, the new X99 board is telling me that to get to 16/16/8 speed, I need to use Slow 1, 3, and 5! And if you look at the board spacing 1, 3, and 5 will make a very strange spacing, the waterblock's bridge will not work, the nice EVGA 3 way SLI connector won't work. The spacking between 1 and 3 is HUGE (there is this 4x slot and a slot in between slot 1 and 3) So, I am stuck using 1, 2, and 4, and stuck under 8/8/8 speed. Whoever designing this needs to get a big smack on the head.
So, please tell me that I can adjust the speed under the BIOS (which is not possible at this moment).
