Yes, if you move it to the opposite side, you will have to locate it on the bottom to maintain the larger wheel cylinder piston towards the front of the car. That is what whomever first installed these type brakes on my car did.
I think increasing (as illustrated) the offset from the 16 degrees outlined previously to provide the necessary line clearance is the best option. This should afford good bleeding function while maintaining proper wheel cylinder / brake shoe orientation as originally engineered.
