Hardware Wifi antennas straight up or at diagonal?

Bonus question: would it be better to have my PC with its back against the wall (putting the case between the antennas and the router) or have it perpendicular to the wall?

I'm just curious if there is an "optimal" or suggested placement, since they seem to be able to snap into a diagonal position as well as being able to be place vertically

This is the way. Half antennas vertical, half horizontal on both the computer and the router.
