The rear wave from a planar dipole speaker is in reverse polarity to the front radiation. So the closer to the front wall you put it the weaker the bass. The reflections from the front wall in the mid and high frequencies are not well separated from the direct radiation by the ear till the reflections are delayed by 1ms or more. That requires that the backwave reflections travel to the fron wall and back to the plane of the speakers a distance greater than 10 ft. So the speakers need to be placed 5 ft or more from the reflective area on the front wall. It is less of an issue with severe toe in. But that adds in front radiation reflecting off the front wall, ,which is equally problematic.
Bass reinforcement by the front wall only works for box speakers. To get wall reinforcement of bass of a planar dipole you place it close to the sidewalls and dead perpendicular to them..
Do try it out to get your impression of what particular placement variation does to the speaker's performance. Keep notes and mark up the placements you try out.
There are particular placement schemes that rely on the dimensions of the room. But your open plan does not really make for a standard room. The right speaker in free space is getting a more favorable placement for mid and tweeter performance, particularly in detail resolution, the left speaker is getting some corner bass boost but otherwise it is having the mids and treble muddied with early reflections.
