For documentation sake, I want to add that some motors hit the top deck even in the middle of the range. An example of this is the Novak Ballistic which we use for VTA in 25.5. The motor screws have large square heads and if you install the motor with the solder tabs on top, one of the screws will be in the way of the top deck.
Easy way around this is to rotate the motor by one mounting screw hole in either direction, it's just... annoying
