This approach is used to move the block to RWD and Argento tabs.

1. Enable Also Viewed products block in Product Additional Container.
2. Open local.xml file on your theme and add the following code to move the block:

   <catalog_product_view>
       <reference name="product.info.additional">
           <action method="unsetChild"><name>alsoviewed.collateral.wrapper</name></action>
       </reference>
       <reference name="CUSTOM.BLOCK.NAME">
           <action method="append"><name>alsoviewed.collateral.wrapper</name></action>
       </reference>
   </catalog_product_view>

Create new block from layout file

1. Open local.xml file on your theme and add the following code:

   <catalog_product_view>
       <reference name="CUSTOM.BLOCK.NAME">
           <block type="core/template" name="alsoviewed.custom.wrapper" before="-">
               <action method="setTemplate">
                   <template>yavva/alsoviewed/wrapper/collateral.phtml</template>
               </action>
               <block type="alsoviewed/products" name="alsoviewed.list" template="yavva/alsoviewed/products.phtml">
                   <action method="setMode"><mode>grid</mode></action>
                   <action method="setProductsCount"><count>4</count></action>
