AIO orientation

candycane

I got a new AIO and I'm not sure if the orientation is right, I have it set as exhaust in the back (it has 2 fans for a push pull). I am a bit worried as I saw heard that wrong orientation can hurt the AIO and cause noise. Currently I don't really hear much noise (I have to get really close to the radiator to hear water noise or if I take off the side panel) but I just want to make sure. 

This is my cooler: https://www.newegg.com/p/2YM-0004-00062?Description=cooler master masterliquid 120 aio cpu liquid cooler, white led pump, robust sleeved FEP tubing&cm_re=cooler_master masterliquid 120 aio cpu liquid cooler, white led pump, robust sleeved FEP tubing-_-9SIA50M95J6894-_-Product&quicklink=true

and this is how it is currently mounted:

Would it be better if it was mounted on top?
