As far as where to mount. No matter where you mount its going to have disadvantages. 6, well shoot over something , 12 shoot under something, 9 gotta move your gun farther out to use the light, 3 is the same way on the opposite side. 3 and 9 can be hard to activate so they get moved to the 11 and 1 position, still the same issues with moving the gun farther out just easier to use.
That being said my M910a is becoming dated and heavy, I'm starting to look at other options. (waiting for tape switch for x300!!!)
the 300 has two available tape switches to work with the special switch plate, a pad, and a rail mounted pad.
and at 12:00 you don't have a disadvantage when shooting under something as you've stated. your irons or optics sit higher than the light. so IF you're aiming, then you have ample room for the light to work.
