It looks that way and it does make some sense in the MCU's case. Just holding a stone could kill you, so whoever made them did it with the intend that you could hold a stone in one gauntlet so it can be attached to the other. Making it so both gauntlets could hold the full set of stones seems a little strange to me though but will likely result the climax of the Infinity War movies being Thanos with one gauntlet and 3 stones verses a hero with a gauntlet and 3 stones.
