The add-react-button and reacts-added should be together. It’s counterintuitive to push a button in one place and have the result appear somewhere that might be off-screen on a long enough comment.
I think it makes sense for all the metadata about a post to stay together. Who wrote it, when they posted it, whether others upvoted it, and what reacts it got are all metadata. I think any argument for putting the reacts at the bottom could be applied to also putting vote scores at the bottom as well.
Serious question that I’m surprised I’d never asked before: why are the vote and agree/disagree scores at the top of the post, instead of elsewhere?
It makes sense for the scores to be there because you might use that as data to determine whether or not to read the comment. It would probably encourage better behavior for the votes themselves to be at the bottom of the comment—but as you note, probably the button and the thing it changes should be together.

Enthusiastic agreement on this! I think votes should be at the bottom, and that it would make sense to move them together!
