Hi Peppe.  Can you have another go at explaining what you are trying to do?  I can see the ones and zeros at the bottom of the graphic.  Is it the starting point you want to control?

 

If you could do a screen shot of just element with its text perhaps?  Right now I am not getting it.

Then next you want to research tutorials and videos about “type on a path” in Photoshop. As shown in the demo below, you can type or paste text directly on any path you draw, and you can use the usual Photoshop tools and Character options to freely control the formatting and positioning of the type along a path. For example, if the spacing doesn’t look right as the type goes around curves, you can edit the Tracking value across all characters, or edit the Kerning value between specific pairs of characters.

I was going to mention that @Conrad_C  In situations where you have areas of the same (or close tothe same) tonal value, you can use the Magic Wand to select, and click on the Make Workpath... icon at the botom of the Paths panel.

The resulting path is usually not perfect, but it will be good enough to run text around, and it is super quick and easy.

Are you using Shape Layers? 

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Properties, Options Bar, Paths, …) visible?
