Default Where to install wideband O2 sensor (pic)

I need to install my wideband, but I'm not sure where I should have the bung welded on. The AEM instructions say at least 36" from the port so can you guys look at my pic and tell me what you think? I can either mount it right in front of my normal O2 sensor or on the wrapped part of the pipe where it makes the first 90 degree turn pointing toward the ground. Let me know what you think please. Room is limited so that's why the pic isn't the best.

Right, I'm not trying to put it in the runner, but I'm trying to see which of theses two locations on the downpipe is better or if it matters. If you look close you can see the wrapped part of the downpipe bending toward the ground or down a little further just in front of the other O2 sensor.

Mine was about 12 and I had replaced it 3x in a yr. Was told it was too close. But in my other car it was about 5" after the turbo no with issues till I sold it...
