I'd honestly avoid 6 o'clock mounting of a light unless there were no other options, the spot where the light is going to shadow is going to be more in your line of sight than pretty much anywhere else. A decent light/mount even with a MOE or Mlok Magpul handguard will put the light at a more ergonomic position and closer or at least similarly inline with the bore, and where the hotspot of a decent light close to POA/POI, at least in my experience.
Here is a pic of a Scout light, an G2X tactical can be easily substituted, in an IWC mount on an MOE handguard.
I can activate with my thumb, where the light is, be it with the Scout, or a G2X the position is the same, it is within a combat shot on a man at house clearing distances. The Scout has a tighter beam, the G2X is more even, but the point remains. A laser, even if in the middle of the light wouldn't be much of an advantage in my opinion, or with my use. Caveat being not using NODs, of course. You also have the mossie Midnight mount, which they are doing a new run of, may or may not be out now, that you could mount a TLR1, X300, or possible your TLR2 should you choose, in front of the FSB, some do like that, it would be up to you.
