The reason the awning rail isn't "typically" mounted with the attachment holes on bottom is because that position allows water to pool in the top part of the awning. If that water freezes and thaws it can push the awning rail away from the side of the trailer and cause leakage. When mounted with the attachment holes above the awning slot, water won't (can't) pool against the side of the camper. Take care to monitor your awning rail carefully to be sure it doesn't start leaking.
It looks like you used a clear sealant between the awning rail and the camper side? If you don't mind, what type of sealant did you use?
