If the corners of the room are a good distance from your listening position, (or recording area), place them in the tri-corner. If it is near one of the above mentioned areas, place them so they cover you ear's (or microphone's) reflections.

In regards to the cloud, the air gap would maximize the trap's effectiveness at lower frequencies. Given your situation, I would mount the traps directly to the ceiling... or purchase a down tube extension (most ceiling fans can utilize them) to allow the clearance for the trap. Assuming of course this doesn't create a head bumping problem.

Thanks much. You've answered my questions and I now know what to do.
