They are correctly positioned. Well, almost, the edges should be in front of Plugs 1 and 4.

That's where I've got mine, It done seem a bit illogical to fit a pair of rubber flaps specifically to channel water straight onto the spark plugs.

It’s intended to keep the high tension wiring and plug caps dry. Rainwater hitting the rubber flows down to the base of the wells where it drains through the holes at the side of the cylinder head.
Fold the flap up on top and the water can’t flow forwards because that’s where the airflow is coming from. So it flows up the curve and blows round the sides spraying the plug caps and wiring.
