Another better lower bound for n=17 square packing

Some of these point arrangements superficially resemble Chladni figures ( https://chalkdustmagazine.com/regulars/on-the-cover/cover-ch... ) coming from the vibrations of a square drum. Orthogonally, I wonder if these arrangements are generalizable to give lower bounds for N = n^2 + 1

None of the images has any squares.

The n=17 case is a famous math meme. But where is the picture for this lower bound packing?

Responding to a couple comments here: there is no picture or new arrangement of squares because those are _upper_ bounds for the problem. The best known arrangement, i.e. the best known upper bound, has not changed.
