Advice needed on fixing an Atmos setup

First time Klipsch owner, first time here, I really have to say "Why I have waited so long"?:P
Seriously, I'm blown away by the quality of Klipsch reference premiere speakers. They are really amazing.

 

I tried to do my best to set up a proper room, I did all the work by myself (really exhausted right now), now I think I need an advice. 
My setup:
(2) RP-260s
(2) RP-440Cs
(2) RP-250Ss
(2 pairs) RP-140SA
(1) R-112 SW
Pioneer Lx 59 (SC-85 in the USA, I guess)

 

Here's my room (work in progress, as you can see)

Front right speaker is in a forced position (can't really place it elsewhere), other speakers can be installed where I want.
Is the setup right? I read so many posts, tutorials, dolby faqs. Really hope it's right, but I'm completely open to criticism and suggestions.
I did a calibration, I listened to some atmos demo clips, I think the only speakers I'm not 100% happy of are the front elevation speaker (back one are fine), as I don't get a true tridimensional sound from the front (it's more like a really elevated and full front sound, can't explain better).
Should I try a different placement for the front 140SAs? Like a bit more tilt? How can I calculate the correct angle?
Should I hang them here? https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsSdrRzXuogk7QsFRS1Aw0j2OBw3
Is hanging the FR elevation speaker above the FR main speaker a bad move (=not being in a parallel position with the left front height)?
Should I return a pair of 140SA (or all of them), and buy some real ceiling speakers (like the  CDT-5800-C)? [but I'd really like to save me the ceiling work if possible, and the back speakers are fine, as far as I can tell]

 

Last option I have to consider, am I wrong about these front 140SAs, and everything is fine?

 

Thanks in advance for your precious help.

Your pictures do not show up. Can you try to post them using the forum software? The easiest advice is to position your theater like the traditional method, while the atmos modules sit on top of the FL, FR. As long as you are not sitting too far back from them, they should just work.
