It will be fine for a while, and it looks good right now. If you look at where the next new leaf is going to come out, then you can slowly direct it up the pole. I circled just in case you don’t know. The purple you can see is open and looks like a slide. Lol. The yellow appears to have a new leaf in stock growing in it that hasn’t opened yet.

Where you put is fine. If it’s at the back of the stems and not conflicting with any nodes for growth it’s fine. Look at the position of my moss pole for my prissy in the picture
