just add your second pair as I have shown here
add the Battery Balancer to the main negative, the same positive as your midpoint and then to the main positive.
add the charger and loads as shown above
hope this helps

I am new to these Victron products so I need very basic help
Where in a four battery series wiring does the Smart monitor go and the Balancer is this one or more also connection of one 24v battery charger
Sorry all new to me novice in setting up such a configeration
As commented above 4 12v batteries in series = 48v not 24

Once you have decided how to wire your 4 batteries I'm sure many people will help with the fine detail ......
