You should (need to) get them to the side or behind you ... I have one more suggestion ...
mount them from the ceiling by FMCBs or some other bracket/way ...
(note you need to ask Axiom if the insert on the QS8 works with the FMCB before ordering them)

I basically agree with Trevor ... If I had your restrictions I'd mount to the ceiling. That is actually probably a better location than the floor as 5.1 surrounds are for ambient sound (a generalized location which has no exact point it's coming from) ... i.e. somewhere to the left/right or everywhere. Being above you I think helps with that.

As far as I know, Atmos does not have a front presence option?
I have QS8's above my mains from a previous configuration that did use height channels, but now with my current Atmos configuration, nothing is sent to them.

ATMOS does do x.x.6 where the 6 is front and rear heights with mid tops. … this is my current layout. It might do x.x.4 … just front and rear heights but that’s just a guess … since I haven’t looked at this configuration… As mike points out, just front heights is very doubtful

One more thing … which might have been mentioned… ATMOS needs direct firing speakers for all it’s speakers including heights.
This is because ATMOS is trying to distinctly place a sound in the room where the QS series is designed to do just the opposite (which is desirable in the non-object surround formats like 5.1 or 7.1)
