Default Air Freshener Positioning

This may be the dumbest thread ever, but I need advice lol. For those of you who have air freshners, where do you put them? I have the Air Spencer CS-X3 and I was planning on putting it on top of the steering wheel column in front of the dash, but then I realized that the steering wheel telescopes every time you turn the car on or off which will end up pushing the case off. I dont want to put it straight onto the dash because it doesnt look clean to me.

Some possible places I can think of:
At the bottom of the center console on driver side
On the garage/gate opener on the ceiling
Under the steering column (there seems to be a vent there that I just discovered!)

I use the type that clips to my AC vents. Never falls out of place and since I like to keep it cool, the car stays Fresh.
