Heights Should be Wider?

[Squishman]

This is my bedroom system and these L&R fronts are the Ascend ones that need 2 of four new woofers. This is where I am positioning them. So now, are my heights too narrow by about a foot? They are toed in. Would it help to point them straight out and of course re-calibrate, which I will do again when new woofers arrive. I haven't ordered them yet, but I will. It's a 5.2.2.

That is way off Dolby Specs. Thos speakers should be on the ceiling half way between you and the end of the room.

Ok. As wide as the mains then?

Yes. Not sure why you want all those speakers in a bedroom. I go to sleep in mine!

I would maybe not toe them in since they are in the front of the room. If you are going to, I would flip the speaker vertically so the tweeter is on the bottom.

Flip them if I leave them there or even if I move them where TLS Guy says they should go?

Here you go. Correct placement is this. Ignore everyone else that says otherwise.
@TLS Guy you seem to be blindly guessing I'm afraid.

If they are at the exact same height, flip them for this location.

Ideally, you want this, so this is what you are trying to simulate (5.1.2):
