For example, why is the somatosensory cortext always at the postcentral gyrus? Or alternatively, why does that exact location in the brain end up doing touch related things?

Don’t know the answer but suspect the word “arranging” in the question incorrectly implies cells moving into position like furniture. Instead, it might be the case that all embryonic neurons are undifferentiated at first then become specialized through chemical interactions with others within distinct areas triggering genetic blueprints to make this cluster a speech center and that one a motor control cluster.
