    Hello,
    By knowing how many rotation and flip the design has.
    Like first one from the second row we can rotate it 2 times and also flip it 2 times so it’s D4
    The second one we can only rotate it 3 times but we can’t flip it so it’s Z3
    Thank you

    First row from left to right: Z4, D16, D3, Z1. But also not sure.
