Yes, it does matter. Your title, and thus responsibility, are not completely the same as a General. You can get Outstanding Level 1 since it's open for any rank, but you will need testimony from Mufasa, Ninja, and/or Rukia as well.
For Member Assistance, you will need one or two more witnesses saying you've helped them.
Simply put... if your position title and prerequisites are not met, you will not be eligible to receive that award. No exceptions.
Also, I want you to realize that because 2 of the awards are not going to happen today, 1) The other 3 awards are still very much attainable if you get the necessary witnesses, and 2) If you keep working and you get to the appropriate rank and do an outstanding job there, you can re-apply for them at that time.
