I am constructing this type of floor and foundation

I know this image has two joists running next to each other but I am essentially going to have two sections like this, to make up my total floor of 6.5m x 3m. It will be built with 5x2 timbers.

I will initially put 2 screws at each end but then need to fill the other section like this

I can still put 2 screws at this end but how do I get some decent fixing at the other end? Do I angle in the screw, use joist hangers or a different approach?

If I stagger them, the OSB floor wont line up and will cause challenges when screwing.

Thanks in advance.
 
Can’t you build it with all the long timbers first, then add noggins?
Or as is, but mark the OSB with a chalk line before the first screw.
 
It’s these noggins here that I’m unclear on.

Once I’ve screwed one of them in from the ends, how do I position and screw the one that follows that on the other side of the long timber. Does it need to be screwed at an angle or something else?
 
Stagger the noggins. That way you get to both ends of each noggin.
A bit of planning, you can line the edges up to cope with the board edges.
