Generally speaking, if you position the camera so that on the top of the monitor screen you can see the receiver, that would be a good place to have it. That way, you will can quickly determine where the hitch is relative to the image on the screen and still have plenty of space on the screen for the area behind the vehicle.

If you have to have the camera very close to the receiver, try angling it out so that you just catch the edge of the receiver or the ball on a ball mount on the screen to again get as much of the area behind the vehicle as possible.

The higher up the camera is, the larger the area it will capture, but the harder it will be to see the images on the monitor screen.
