Should they be slightly about the canopy or should thy be lower say the bottom of the bulb just abovethe pots.

2 feet above anyway.
Put your hand between the plants and the light, if it's hot on your hand it's too hot for the plant.

you don't want the plants to be below the light, i tried having a plant directly underneath instead of a fan, it didn't grow at all.
unless you have the plants quite far away (which with lots of plants is not necessarily a bad thing for overall yield), it is hard to get the whole plant soaked in light. i try to get the light as high as i can without any escaping... if i can't see the light, it means that the plants are copping it.
