Once upon a time Dave Schultheis shaped the electrons to say...

That's really just to make sure the IR signal hits the sensor - since
the arms generally put the emitted above/below the level of the
sensor.  Too close and the angle may block the line of sight.

So as long as the sensor can see the emitter, you're fine.

In that case the other suggestion of bundling them directly together
may be the best option.
