You should rotate your setup 90 degrees clockwise so you're facing the window on the right. More here:

Agreed.
Here is a test I did with facing the shorter wall vs the longer wall.

i was advised by the guy who posted above me to not use the foam wedges in this thread Few Basic Questions Regarding Bass Trap Placement

i had already bought them unfortunately so i will be gluing OC 703 to the back of them for added bass trapping

Here's where I recommend placing your foam:

In addition to Ethan's placement advice above, generally you want the bass traps to be corners, starting close to your speakers and working out from there. You can use this listening test to find good places to put bass traps: RealTraps - Filtered Noise

Also use the high frequency absorbers to create a Reflection-Free Zone, as shown here: RealTraps - Creating a Reflection-Free Zone

Hey guys, thanks for the replies but theres a problem with placing the set up by the window. The actual window itself isn't in the middle of the wall but majority is on the right hand side of the wall meaning there isn't enough room for a bass trap in that corner "/
Also, i need to somehow block that window as on the other side is the conservatory and the window is single glazed meaning the sounds are loud from that room as my much younger siblings tend to mess about in there.
