When I did my basement and the garage- I did a trick that was shown on the insulation bags. I made a cut in the back of the bat across the width of it where the wire goes. Then I sandwiched the wire inside the insulation.

I don't think it's a big deal to have it pushed back, but you don't want the wires to be under stress. I would also feel better knowing the wires are protected somewhat from condensation.
