where to position temperature probe underhood

I have installed a Temperature gauge to read underhood temperatures on my car, to get a baseline before grille blocking. I want to step into grille blocks, not sure at this point whether I will do upper lower or both. I want to monitor underhood temps to be safe. I have installed it on the front of the windshield washer fluid reservoir, but i think im too much in the direct path of the airflow into the engine compartment since temps dropped when i started moving. and the highest it registered was 45 degrees f while sitting idling, this is in 32 degree ambient temperature. So my question is for those of you who have done this where did you locate the temperature probe ? thanks in advance
