Do My BMS Filters appear to be on correctly?
Seems like the rear one is awful close to the block.

nope, looks about right. even the pictures from BMS seem to show almost the exact same positioning.

The snorkel seems to be pointing a bit low...?

Looks good to me!

I know you want them to stick off the pipe as far as possible... Terry mentioned once if they are too far in there could be some loss in flow.

Mine look about the same. I had the same fears, but they should be fine.

I put mine in about a 1/2inch or so...

I would lean towards making sure they're seated pretty deep. I have this set up as well, and my rear filter jarred itself loose and fell out completely. I would say, as long as there are no binding points or kinks, stuff em in there. How much performance could you possibly lose if there's a difference of an inch on the depth of your intake filter? If it comes out, now you're not making power. Just speaking from personal experience.
