This below is a map of tribes which either lived or could iive (location of some tribes is uncertain and speculative) on the territory of Poland in Roman times. Bear in my mind that ethnicity of most of these tribes is disupted, so it is not certain which of them were Germanic:

It is often assumed that the area achaeologically defined as Przeworsk Culture, was politically united, and part of the Lugian Federation (which was mentioned in Roman sources). The Lugian Federation was probably multi-ethnic but it had Germanic presence as well:

^^^ Compare it also to regions of Poland:

In Europa Barbarorum (mods for Total War games) the Lugian Federation is one of factions:

I do not know why you included the top map ...........a map fabricated by someone who wants a slavic presence as part of the lugians via a vandili confederation .......the person stated
Lugian Federation (later known as the Vandal Federation - probably due to change of hegemony within the union, rather than ethnic transformations), which is commonly associated with Przeworsk culture.
Clearly we have older maps which give the Vandali confederation a more northern place .

This map above shows the Vindili confederation and the tribes within it ......take note also where the Veneti?venedi venedae are ...along the coast and part of the venedae lagoon.
.
In regards to Lugii being slav, the are associated with the Bastanae people , a germanic people who could have slav components
