Need a little advice for a newcomer to the palm world

Got a bunch of plants recently all really young and small. Need advice on where to place them in my yard. Full sun, partial sun, afternoon sun, shade?

Chambeyronia macrocarpa
Caryota gigas
Ceratozamia hildae
Chamaedorea arenbergiana
Cham. ataractarum
Cham. elegans
Cham plumosa

Not to mention I have some Queens, Kings, and Sagos, and a few others.

Trying to turn our plain jane backyard, into a more tropical getaway. Please offer some advice if you can. Thanks.

Forgot to mention...

I live in Santa Barbara. Our house gets a lot of sun. Where I would like to plant would be in the back yard. South corner of the property, near a fence, sheltered by a neighbors tree for most of the morning and early afternoon, but not from 1 to sundown. Would this be a good place or not?
