Putting the heater in the back will keep the water at the desired temp, so long as it is the same water circulating throughout the rest of the tank, the placement of the heater has no affect on temperature. Just make sure you place it somewhere with a constant water level so that you dont have to worry about forgetting to top off, the water level dropping below the heater, and the heater exploding. But so long as it is somewhere with a constant water level that will not be an issue either.
As far as your cycle it seems you were pretty darn thorough and did your due diligence. It sounds like the tank was cycled properly, and you dont seem to be rushing it, which is good. Especially so in this hobby, patience is key.
