Generally the reflectors, if they are a spider light design, need to be mounted perpendicular to the canopy. What reflectors do you have?

That will work, but it's reported that you get better light spread if the reflectors are mounted the other way. That doesn't mean your design won't work well, and if that's how they fit, I'm sure it's just fine.
