They should go here on the front wall.

I’ve seen them
High on the sides too...
can you post some pics of the room? More pics I mean.

Mount the Prime Elevation speakers on the ceiling or high on the side walls (in the same horizontal plane) consistent with the speaker placement shown in this 5.1.2 set-up link.

Classify them as either top middle or top front - whichever ends up being the closest match.

Problem is. have a large window on the side so wiring might be tricky

Is the top front corner not good?

Front heights are supported by your AVR as an option.

With that said supported doesn't mean optimal. The best location for your height effects channels is shown in the Dolby link I provided above.

With only one set of height effects speakers, placing them on the front wall will not result in the same level of immersiveness or overhead sound effects as placing them above the listening position per the Dolby link.

I agree with Ed’s advice, especially after seeing the room again. IMO, the mains are too close to the ceiling for that first placement to be effective. Another probably larger problem is both couches are along the side walls. IMO you will have mediocre performance no matter what you do.

Are front heights1/2 on the Marantz AVR treated as Atmos in the mix? Netflix, Disney+, etc?
