The timers are processed before each sampler in the scope in which they are found; looking at your test plan you can either put it under Thread group or Loop controller, as you have only one sampler under your thread group.
But if you are going to add more samplers to thread group then put it under Loop controller.

The target performance for our system is somewhere around 50 order journeys per minute with a load of 400 users, so am using 4 instances of JMeter (100 users each at 12 orders per minute) to simulate this. What I am being asked to show within the script is that the system is capable of handling the steps inside the Loop Controller at a rate of 12 orders per minute. The documentation I can find for the Constant Throughput Controller doesnt really give away the best place to put it to get what I need - so am coming to the larger User Community for some ideas.
