How to plan 2 days at Gardiner and 1 days (still deciding) ?

Hello,

We are visiting Yellowstone NP in last week of August and trying to fill some missing part. Below is rough itinerary/plan. Please advice, where would I stay on last day and what can I skip/add from these.

Day-1 : [Staying in Gardiner]. Reach Bozeman at 6:30 PM. Pickup rental car and reach Gardiner by 8:30 PM.
Day-2 : [Staying in Gardiner]. Route and Spots to see - Mammoth Hot Springs, Norris Geyser Basin, North/South Rim (Grand Canyon part), Tower-Roosevelt falls, Lamar Valley, backtrack to Gardiner hotel.
Day-3 : [Staying at ?????]. Grand Prismatic Spring, Upper Geyser Basin/Old Faithful, and some more places on lower side.
Day-4 : Reach Bozeman by 5:30 PM to get 7:30 PM flight. That means, I have full day starting from 9 AM, till evening when I will reach Bozeman Airport.

I can stay at Grant Village, but can't figure if that would more sense, as I don't have time to see Grand Teton and I would skip it. Also, I would see Lamar Valley on Day-2, so I can skip Hayden Valley. What would you suggest?
Another option is to stay at West Entrance for Day-3. If you would prefer that, how can I plan my Day-3 and Day-4?
I want to utilize my time fully, so trying to fill it as it can comfortably.

Our preferences and interests - We are not into long hikes, short ones are okay. We will be looking for photographic spots, be it landscapes or wildlife or geysers with beautiful setup/background.
Please advice.

Thanks
