Klipsch RP-240S surrounds this close to wall corner, is that OK? (Pics) Help guys!

Please guys, this is my VERY first home theater setup (never had the money to build one until now), and I already have my fronts and center and subwoofer decided (all Klipsch Reference Premiere), but I cannot decide on my rear surrounds! (It'll be a 5.1 system at the moment, I will expand later)

I feel like the Klipsch RP-240S would be the best bet for surrounds because my room is small (12x13) and I read that di/bipole surrounds work best for smaller rooms. My only thing is, the RP-240S would be mounted on these wall mounts, which are about 12" from the wall corner.

As you can see from the design of the RP-240S...

...One side of the woofer/tweeter will be VERY close to the rear wall (and a window on one side). My question to you experts is, will this create "bad" surround sound from the sound hitting and deflecting the corner of the room?

Please help me decide between the 240S or the Dolby Atmos RP-140SA, which is meant to be an upward-firing Atmos add-on, however I'd be mounting them and using them as rear surrounds instead! The reason I'd rather have the 240S is because I'm concerned the 140SA has limited frequency response and sensitivity (on the Klipsch specs page, they do not list the fr response or sensitivity for them, they simply say "Dolby Atmos Certified Specifications")

Thanks!
