Store conversion dies at hesitation, and most 'social proof' apps manufacture urgency with invented numbers. A real online-now count and a real countdown to a sale ending do the same job honestly — and a click heatmap on the product page tells you which part of your own layout is being ignored.
What you are trying to do here is reduce hesitation on the product page without lying about demand. Three widgets below do that; the other 15 in the set mostly do not, so they are not on this page.
