Looking for the guilty sunspots

After the aurora, I went looking for the cause. It's this cluster of sunspots.
I drew them on with a pencil. The sun quickly moved position! The screenshot below came from here.
It is 3664 that caused the damage. This is a region, not one sunspot. It is the regions that get the serial numbers. A lot more to unpack here.
