First time using a helmet mounted camera. Is this placement a bad idea?

I bought a DJI Osmo Action 5, but the mount it included seems too big to be put right at the chin, so I 3D printed an additional arm in order to get the camera to be right in front of the chin while having the mount on the side. Now, since I have no experience at all with helmet mounted cameras I wanted to ask first before possibly messing up.

Will this hold? Is there something I'm not thinking of that makes this a bad idea? Also, I don't know how good is the glue on the base, but in the last photo you can see it seems to have no air bubbles, any space between it and the helmet or anything.

I don't know if it's relevant, but the helmet is a HJC C70N
