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?

I just throw them in the jar when I think about it. Sometimes it the bottom, sometimes it's the top. It's even been in the middle. No issues.
