In theory, putting side speakers before the seating position is not ideal. But with a 7.1 setup, it probably isn't too bad as the two back surrounds will help creat the illusion of space. I had a similar setup with the side speakers about a foot before the seating position and it's working fine.
I've had 5.1 for ten years now and I have to say the side speakers are over-rated. Yes they add to the enviornmental effect but outside of a few action movies, most movies don't make good use of them anyway. I'm now perfectly happy watching with just a good front 3 speakers.
