Biologists and anthropologists: is this great apes cladogram accurate? (Illustration help!)

Where I’m confused is where chimps & bonobos diverge from humans. Does this work as it is, or should I switch the chimpanzee & bonobo labels? The way it is now sort of looks like bonobos & humans share the most recent common ancestor, instead of chimps & humans (to me, but I’m not used to reading these diagrams). Is this ok? I’m working from this cladogram.
