Rear overhead light location

Ok any suggestions from finished 10 people that have an opinion on rear light location…. Forward in the aluminum cover or aft of the air vents?

Is it too far aft behind air vents and does your head get in the way of the light?

Headset hangars? Oxygen location?

Here’s what I did with mine. Seems fine.
Haven’t really done much night flight with pax. Maybe only once now that I think about it.
The Ox however I can say works very well here. My shortened cannula lives permanently hanging just behind the PIC seat.

Many options but this seems to work ok and keeps the overhead less crowded. (It's pretty crowded even without oxygen mounted in the overhead)

Any issues with "kick-ability" while the cannulas are plugged in with those low mounting spots? Or do you just make sure all 02 is unplugged before anybody gets out
