Vrm Fan Positioning

I've just replaced the stock wraith prism on my 2700x for a noctua nh U14S.
I have the b450m steel legend.
I have just bought a little 80mm fan to point down at the vrms for a bit of extra cooling.
My question is should I position it directly above the vrm's, or mount it higher up nearer the glass side panel of my case? 
Does it matter or will it affect airflow either one of these positions, it will be sat between the rear of the Noctua and infont of the rear exhaust fan, and under the top exhaust fan.

You might wanna find some slim heatsinks and place them on the vrm heating in the inner side of it(the one facing the cpu) for some extra spreading

 

You need to position the fan like this :

 

Heatsink.               _________________________________.       (]]]

                                _________________________________.      (]]].     Fan

 

                           So the air will "touch" the hole surface of the heatsink
