bought a pop socket. love it so far!

where’s the best place to position it tho?

i got it bottom left side
 
As your thread suggests: mount it in a position that takes the pressure off your poor, over-worked pinky.
THAT'S your best placement. (you'll figure it out...)

Lots of funny guys here and responses. However I know exactly what you are speaking of. I also hold device where pinky is underneath so as to not drop and several cases I have had dig in right at the charging port edge. And yes it gets pinky a tad sore at times :) I am guessing the iRing or Pop socket are the only fixes or use the device with no case.
 
I have a similar issue. The edge of the antenna band that I rest my pinky on is almost sharp. If I run my finger along the bottom edge of the phone, it nearly gets caught on the jagged edge of the band. (iPhone XS)

I’ve just started wrapping all my fingers around the phone, including my pinky.
