Air flow and aftermarket oil cooler mounting

I have a common issue and I need some forum members with experience to chime in with their opinions.

I currently run a custom vmount setup but have struggled to find a position good enough for my oil cooler. Currently I have a ebay replica of the stock oil cooler after have my stock one sprung a leak.

I got a new setrab oil cooler 22" x 6" x 1.5" to junk the ebay shit and get better cooling, the present oil cooler sits behind the bumper and gets air from holes in the bumper pic below.

Last summer oil temps were a bit hot and did not drop with hwy driving so it's either shitty oil cooler *ebay* or shitty location oil getting enough air.

So I have a few choices
1. same location
2. Sandwich to rad lower part
3. Sandwich to rad upper part
4. Sandwich to lower part of intercooler





Below are pics of the oil cooler sandwich to rad and pics of space in between rad and intercooler.










Where do I mount my oil cooler for the best cooling and air flow?
