if I ever did a rear view camera, I would ideally place it as close to the roof as possible. however, since you have a high mount brake light, it would be in the way. in that regard, placing it next to the brake light would be my next option. it does not matter if the camera is not centered since most dashcams have wide FOV's so slightly off center will not affect your picture that much.

my current front dash cam is slightly off center and you can barely tell in the videos.

this video for example: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzEBJT2WFP4"]spin out - YouTube[/ame]

my dash cam is mounted about 2 inches to the right of my rear view mirror stalk. you can barely tell it is off center.
