Reorder Post Components on Front Page

Hi everyone,

I'll start this by admitting I am fairly new to Wordpress and Beans.

I am working on a beans child theme and am attempting to reorder the post components on my home page. All I want to do is place the thumbnail image before the title and meta on the home page. I took the following snippet from this page and made it look like this:

function example_loop() {

    if (( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <article class='my_home_article'>
         <?php beans_post_image(); ?>
            <header>
                <?php
                    beans_post_title();
                    beans_post_meta();
                ?>
            </header>
            <div>
                <?php beans_post_content(); ?>
            </div>
        </article>

    <?php endwhile; else : ?>

        <article>
          <header>
            <?php
             beans_post_title();
         beans_post_meta();
        ?>
          </header>
         <div>
           <?php beans_post_content(); ?>
          </div>
          <div>
           <!-- comments here -->
          </div>
        </article>

    <?php endif;

    // Display posts pagination.
    beans_posts_pagination();

}

The problem is, my comments disappear when not on the home page and I cannot figure out how to add them back.

Could someone either show me a more efficient way to add the thumbnail image before the title and post or show me how to properly add comments to a single post view? Thanks!
