Narrative:
I was the lead working this outbound and I misloaded the dangerous goods onto the aircraft. We had about 10 pieces of dangerous goods in bags weighing roughly 600 pounds; so I assigned the cargo to pit 5 on my scanner. There was a breakdown of miscommunication between the back pit loader and myself; and the cargo was loaded into pit 4 instead of pit 5 along with approximately 50 bags. The cargo quick packs were scanned into pit 4 mistakenly; but were assigned to pit 5 on the [load plan]. I was unaware that we are not allowed to load dangerous goods onto a nesting system and I'm not sure if this is a new SOP but it was new to me. Dangerous goods was surrounded with 15 bags per SOP.
