the details of this incredible piece and learn all the ways Matt
made sense of the interior layout based on what was shown in the
original series episodes!

Like many things, that moved around during the TV show and the movies. :-)
Various references give Kirk's quarters as being on Deck 3, Deck 5, or
Deck 12 (and probably others). Likely it was simply whatever suited the filming and script needs.

I would love a cite that puts Kirk's quarters anywhere but deck five on
TOS.
He had Kirk's quarters on deck five, but he misplaced the entire deck. Instead of on the widest part of the saucer, where the outside wall would have that slant, and there would be a window he moved it up into the bump
on the saucer where it couldn't have either.
The model kit cut away they made about the same time as his initial poster got it right.
