Major scale box patterns
I have mapped out the complete A Major scale

and the A Major pentatonic scale

I'm having an issue to understand the box scales, and almost all info relates to the C Major scale. I'm not sure if the box shapes stays the same, move up or move down from C Major to A Major.

Any clarity on this will be appreciated. If possible, where does my boxes lay on my images provided

The issue here came down to a wrong formula I got for the pentatonic scale from an internet source. The formula I used was 1,3,4,5,7 which caused all the confusion for me.
@Matt L. helped me to the correct formula which is 1,2,3,5,6 and after correcting my scale, the box shapes are quite evident now.

Here is my corrected pentatonic scale for A Major
