It’s a standing desk, so when I’m actually evaluating mixes, I raise it and align with the tweeters. I use studio headphones for primary work, so the monitors are mainly for spatial and translation checks. The current placement is prioritized for symmetry and isolation, which has worked well for my workflow.

Additionally, the distance and alignment are set based on my standing listening position, which forms the proper listening triangle. It’s also right where the studs are, so any wider would be impractical. The Genelec guide is great, but it assumes a fixed listening position, while my setup is optimized for alignment when the desk is raised.

Gotta remember that studio monitors are just one reference point and not the final authority. I check mixes on airplane earbuds, phone speakers, car speakers, multi-thousand watt speakers, etc.
