No, you have NOT shown how to harmonize the accounts, you have not yet even identified the various things that are in a different order in the 2 sequences. I agree that each account is given in a sequential order, but the items in each account are in a different order. As this is tangential to the main point, I was trying to decline to go there; all I wished was affirmation that faithful people can interpret these passages differently and that remains my wish.

Yes, we will all give an account before God, I know I want mercy.

By restricting the idea to rib and some flesh, you are making an interpretive choice on what “one part/side” means. It might mean as little as you choose or it might mean more. Faithful people are allowed to see it as more by their choice. This is as aspect of the range of meaning of terms.
