Django Crispy forms - positional argument follows keyword argument error

Im new to crispy forms and am trying to use bootstrap to style some form fields into a bootstrap panel, then I will add some other fields into another panel and so on. Building the first panel I am getting the below error.

something is awry but am not sure what?

Traceback:

this is my forms.py

class EditSiteForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = SiteData
        fields = ['location', 'site_type', 'bgp_as', 'opening_date','last_hw_refresh_date','is_live',
                    'tel','address','town','postcode',
                    'regional_manager','regional_manager_tel','assistant_manager','assistant_manager_tel' ,'duty_manager','duty_manager_tel']

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(EditSiteForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper(self)
        self.helper.form_id = 'edit_site_form'
        self.helper.form_method = 'POST'
        self.helper.add_input(Submit('submit', 'Save', css_class='btn-primary'))
        self.helper.layout = Layout(
           Div(title='', css_class='panel panel-primary',
                Div(title='Details', css_class='panel-heading'),
                Div(css_class='panel-body',
                    Field('location', placeholder='Location'),
                    Div('site_type', title="Site Type")
                ),
            )
        )

this is the line its complaining about

Div(title='Details', css_class='panel-heading'),

I think it's really complaining about this:

Div(css_class='panel-body',
    Field('location', placeholder='Location'),
    Div('site_type', title="Site Type")
),

You are passing two positional args (Field, and Div) after a keyword argument (css_class).

You can fix this by re-arranging:

Div(
    Field('location', placeholder='Location'),
    Div('site_type', title="Site Type")
    css_class='panel-body',
),
