HID-compliant touch screen packet data structure

Question

I need to find out HID-compliant touch screen(single touch) input data structure(like byte ordering and what should be written in each byte).

I have used HID-compliant touchscreen descriptor from Microsoft official docs

and in host PC using device Manager I am able to see that it successfully enumerates HID -compliant device. Now I want to send HID report to the host but the problem is that I haven't found something like HID boot protocol for touchscreen (for mouse and keyboard it is clearly defined in USB org spec). This is a code sample that I am using to create touchscreen HID report and it works but not as expected. I found this combination of bytes by researching a lot of github codes and reading articles but I want to find some document by which I can proof that the ordering is correct.

    char report[8] = {0};
    uint16_t x_access = 10000;
    uint16_t y_access = 10000;

    report[0] = 0x01; //reportid
    report[1] = 0x3;   //statuss
    report[2] = LOWBYTE(x_access);  //x low byte
    report[3] = HIGHBYTE(x_access); //x high byte
    report[4] = LOWBYTE(y_access);  //y low byte
    report[5] = HIGHBYTE(y_access); //y high byte
    report[6] = 0x65;               //touch parsing time low byte 
    report[7] = 0x00;               //touch parsing time high byte
  //report[8] = 1                   //this doesn't have any impact (touch count)

With RDD! HID Report Descriptor Decoder tool we can easily generate C structs from Microsoft provided touchscreen "Sample Report Descriptor":

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Digitizer Device Page inputReport 01 (Device --> Host)
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

typedef struct
{
  uint8_t  reportId;                                 // Report ID = 0x01 (1)
