Default mast position when mounting a beam?

I'm in the process of putting up a 4 element 6 meter beam.
I'd like it to be balanced but that means I'll be attaching
it to my pole half way between the driven element and
first director. This is a 2" diameter aluminum pole and I'm
concerned that it will interfere with the pattern.

Can anyone say (with some level of confidence) if this is
a problem? Normally, beams seem to be mounted adjacent
to an element. TIA
