Room layout (plan)

I sense there’s limited placement options from the side walls due to screen size?

I’d usually advocate for keeping the front right and left the same distance from the front wall and also the front right and left the same distance from the side wall, but not having the distance to the front and side walls be the same.
That said, a few inches difference between the front and side wall distances probably won’t matter much. Symmetry will also usually matter for stereo imaging, but perhaps not as much with the dimensions provided. Remember too that SBIR cancellation frequency is calculated from the cone, not cabinet distance, if you’re going to give this more thought.

On the plus side, having the speakers that close to the wall gives you an advantage in counteracting the SBIR because the cancellation frequency will be higher and its easier to absorb higher frequencies. 4”-5” Bass traps should help if there’s room for them.

If choices are limited the best course will probably be to put them where you want or need to and then measure. Move them within the area you have until you get the best response and go from there with room treatment options. Audyssey on top of that.

From the cone………ok then, since my fronts are 15” deep, then I should place them 2 feet (backside of cabinets) from the front wall, or move them around until I get satisfactory readings from my DRC graphs.
Would that work?

Will you be using DRC graphs or REW?

Is it a 15" woofer in the cabinet?
