Why would he be posted to 1./JG 54 for such a brief period and in what position if he had previously served as a Staffelkapitän?

As 1. & 3. Staffel are in the same Gruppe, it sounds relatively reasonable to me that he was tranfered to 1. Staffel, maybe after the original Staffelkapitän was put out of action. Was there any such loss?
I can imagine that he also "liked" the 109, as he was pretty successfull in IV./JG54, which was exclusively equipped with 109s at that time, at least acc. to
