Mounting outdoor patio speakers question

I've purchased a pair of Paradigm Stylus 270 outdoor speakers and looking to mount them on the wall in our enclosed patio.

The patio is 28 ft wide and 14 ft deep. The outside wall is screens. The speakers are about 24 ft apart and around 8 ft up (marked by the blue circles). The seating area is the table and the sofa (easiest seen in 2nd photo - the wide angle lens really skews the size.

The speaker mount only allows for tilting on 1 axis (picture 3). They can be mounted vertically and turned inwards or horizontally and tilted downwards. I'm wondering if this will result the audio not being

The wiring is unfortunately fixed as it was done a few years ago during home construction. What's the best way to mount them in this situation?

There are two holes spaced 60mm apart on the back of the speakers that allows for a different mount. Should I instead be looking at a two-axis mount such as this? https://www.amazon.ca/Howonder-pro-Speaker-Column-Brackets-Speakers/dp/B0DX23J345/

Or do you think it would be best to just mount them with the given mount and if so horizontally or vertically?

It's a permanent install so I really appreciate the help!

por amor art starter kit question

Hi, I'm looking at a first kit for my 9 year old and myself and have narrowed it down to these two:

https://www.poramorart.ca/product-page/founding-startup-kit

https://www.poramorart.ca/product-page/the-furnished-apartment-kit

What would you recommend? I understand the apartment kit uses a 2 chamber formicarium instead a test tube approach. They are the same price and I'm currently leaning to the apartment kit, but wondering what the downsides are? We'll likely be going with lasius neoniger as a first species.
