Preparing for the top concrete slab

So i have now gone up 9 levels of bricks and although i have put in inside supports for the corrigated iron to pour the top concrete slab onto I feel i still need some more support in certain areas.
You can see here all i have done is angle grind some dints in the bricks and run reo rods across it. they are JUST behind the brick where the lintels will go, the cross section of my 2 underneath openings, the big hole at the back and the small gap on the right.


Here is a close up of the groves i created to slot the reo in, i also secured them with a bit of "liquid nails" just so they don't move, the weight once the slab is poured will also secure them.
