No, it doesn't matter. Every point along the radius (the motor arm) travels the same number of degrees -- although, if you get too far from the pivot, the dish will skew out of the path as it turns. Ideally, the center of the dish should be in alignment with the center spindle of the motor (the axis of rotation). On my dish (same as yours) it looked pretty close when the clamp gripped the motor arm at the end. (ie: no significant portion of the tube extends beyond the clamp).
