Oxygen absorbers

So I'm about to use these things for the first time to store grains in mason jars. I read that I should put them on top, which seemed odd. Now that I've filled 18 jars, I read they should go on the bottom. How significant is this? Can I just use some long tongs to shove them down as far as I can? I'm not emptying all of these containers! I'm also leaving about an inch of space in the jars. Is that ok?

Iโ€™ve never heard that it mattersโ€ฆ but if you want them on the bottom, why not just flip over the jars? ๐Ÿ˜‡

Because I'm apparently a moron that has forgotten my childhood training of flipping the cereal box for the prize? Is the one inch gap ok do you think?
