how to customise assistive touch icons

how do i remove SOS from assistive touch? i know you can customise the first page of it but i cant take away the SOS. i keep pressing SOS instead of taking a screenshot because i am so used to the screenshot button being there. it is a hassle to keep going into SOS mode and having to key in my passcode again to log back in my phone. is there a way i can get rid of SOS or switch the positions?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15
