Welcome to the forum.
There's no real ideal location generally, you are limited with transom mounts, so it gets placed where it can be. This is unfortunate, though a reality, but you can make adjustments to improve signal strength and clarity.
Have a look here;

which is a starting point. I've found high speed transom mounts very unreliable in terms of information they can offer. I think through hull transducers are far superior and can be located where the information is more useful.
