Theoretically it doesn't matter where you place the fuelling valve because the fuel pressure to the engine is determined by the tank position. But there's other considerations such as keeping the fuel lines as short as possible whilst leaving enough slack that you can get the engine cowl off
Having said that, I always mount my valves in the side of the cowl, rather than trying to hide them underneath, because they're easier to access there. That automatically puts them more-or-less at the same height as the carburettor. I also use larger than usual fuel tubing to minimise the pressure loss in the longer lines
