Applying the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition for SU2 gives
V4​⊗V3​≅V7​⊕V5​⊕V3​⊕V1​​,
(1)
and
V3​⊗V3​≅V6​⊕V4​⊕V2​⊕V0​.
(2)
On the summand V6−2j​, interchange of the two tensor factors acts by (−1)j; this is the flip parity in the SU2 tensor square. The even-j summands make the symmetric square, so
S2V3​≅V6​⊕V2​​.
(3)
