Inserting assets based on the best ratio

The goal is to insert assets from a pool, depending on their (physical) size ratio. The pool of assets is seen in the following image. Colors are (only) used to visually emphasize the physical size ratio.
Note: Since the assets are color coded with their ratio, it is visible that "long" and "wide" Lots utilize black and pink assets, while "square-ish" Lots utilize red and blue assets.
