It may be a silly question but is it okay that i have front mounted my h100i v2? I have heard from somewhere that the pump has to be below the rad or something like that, is this true?

Yes you can.  The pump being lower part applies to custom loops that need to be filled.  Having the pump lower than the res keep the pump from running while dry.

Yes you can, it will make no difference in temps. There are many videos about it on YT. Here is how I had my Hybrids mounted:
