After you re pleased with the grouping measure and hang. Choose where you want your grouping to hang and draw a horizontal line from left to right. Measure the wall space that you want to fill. Hang the pictures at varying heights along the rod using invisible fishing line.

Secure the pictures to the wall using whatever hardware is appropriate for your wall type and the weight of the pictures. Be sure to hang the lowest pictures first in case you need to layer pictures over the line up above. Have someone hold a piece up to the wall while you stand back and appraise just cover the hanging hardware with masking tape first to keep it from scratching the wall. Doing so enables you to move pieces around until you arrive at the optimum arrangement.
