There is no "standard", or "rules" for what you suggest, if it looked good, go for it.
However, in Scottish regiments of the British Army, basic rank insignia have never been worn on the kilt itself, they are worn on whatever clothing covers the body or head, the tunic, or doublet, shell jacket, shirt, etc. The only rank insignia worn on the kilt itself are rosettes as in the Black Watch Officers, Senior NCOs or Pipers, or as in the former Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, embroidered kilt panel in front and two rosettes on a back pleat, again for Officers, Senior NCOs and Pipers. See the attached photos of the Argylls Kilt Panel and Rosettes, also the attached photo of Pipe Majors in India show the Black Watch PM on the far right, also showing the kilt Rosettes on his kilt. Pipers in some other regiments also wore Rosettes on the front kilt panel, but that was about all in the way of Rank insignia.
