Keep them on the top row, just move them to the inside holes.
Adding to allan4sr's advice, adjust the brakes to where they have a lot of resistance but don't lock up (best done on pit lane). Hold full brakes on the radio, with the rear end in the air, push it to feel the front brakes, and do the same for the rear and adjust the linkages until they feel equal. You will usually need more front brake as the weight transfers to the nose off power.

I usually set my brakes up to use about 60% of the throw in the radio, that way I can adjust it to get more or less or add a lot more to change the bias mid-run. This is especially helpful in mains!
