Hi all.
Need some advice.
Running the Master Series speaker placement process.

In the pics attached, you see a support column on the right side of room only.
As result, i am questioning step 1 of the process.

Should my starting position of right speaker be in front of the column or against the back wall.
The room is 12.5ft wide at front wall. The column is 20 inches from front wall and 16 inches from side wall.

Starting with speakers at front wall will greatly inhibit my options when we get to "closing the gate" step in addition to the distance to tweeters at approx 5ft... which I think is too close together for such large speakers.

If i start with right speaker in front of column, the speakers are already close 4ft away from front wall.
The room is dedicated and 27ft long so the speakers can extend as far as needed.

Im curious as to the dimensions of others after they finalized placement.
Thanks to all who reply.
