Let me say up front, I'm not an expert and this is just my opinion and what I've seen.

I teach throwing hand on the outside of the right thigh. I also prefer the catcher rotate the thumbside of the glove up and relax to receive. Here's a couple of pics....

Once the pitcher gets a target and begins his wind-up, the glove/target positioning does not matter.

That position, is very exhausting, IMHO. And, a ball strike to that tensed arm is very difficult to play thru.
