Leave it omni and call it good.
With that particular antenna in an omni configuration, it has 6 dB gain.
Point all the elements in the same direction, you'll get 9 dB gain. So, the
biggest change you can get is 3 dB. If we assume one would split the
difference by aiming two elements in opposing directions, that would
arguably be a 1.5 dB difference. You will never be able to tell the
difference. Don't loose any more sleep over it.
