I just had my interior doors replaced with solid core doors, and one of them is a double door. I purchased a magnetic catch to keep the passive door secure (instead of using a ball catch). This is the one I purchased:

My question is how far from the edge of the passive door, horizontally speaking, should the magnet be or does it not matter too much?
Here are some photos to explain what I mean. Should the magnet be placed on the red line (assuming the closer to the edge of the door, the better) or would placing it on the blue line work just as well? Or should it be even further away from the edge? Not sure what the rule of thumb is:
Based on the example pictures on the manufacturer's site, it looks maybe like 2 or 2.5 inches from the edge of the door but it's hard to tell for sure. In my photos, the blue line is roughly 2 inches away from the edge, so should I place it there or should I remove the surface bolt catch and place it on the red line? I'm probably going to remove the surface bolt anyway since it's crooked and probably will never be used but maybe the blue line is more appropriate (or maybe even further away from the blue line...or maybe I am just overthinking it in general ).
