Help On Placing Acoustic Foam In Control Room

hi there guys,

i have come across some spare acoustic foam,
i have recently deadened out my garage door in my studio to get rid of the sound bouncing off the garage door, with rockwool slabs and it has made my mixes sound beautiful, my garage has not got that much reverb now, how ever i was thinking of placing some tiles on the walls, is there anywhere specific where you would think i should stick the acoustic foam? eg, behind monitors etc. or anywhere else specific?
i will try and post more pictures up if that does help,

also above my garage door as shown below i have a thin glass window..
i have puttied it up but it still vibrates to loud bass when being played, i was thinkin of using acoustic foam tiles stuck onto cardboard and placing it infront of the window would this help? then obviosuly taking the panels away from the window when i am not mixing. its just to block sound hitting the window so it doesnt vibrate

advise much appreciated people,
Thanks


(the pic below was taken when i placed the slabs up to see how they would fit) i am taking the packaging off the rest and placing material on top of them too,

Put it at the side-wall and ceiling reflection points. More here:

Probably not help much. You need something more solid than foam.
