I would mount on top: when you put a tube in the socket, if it is only supported by rivets, its ears will bend.
Whereas if on top, when you press on it, it is supported by its whole rim against the chassis. And when pulling the tube, it is not really pulling with loctals but bending at an angle, so no truly pulling effort exists.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
