I think it's quite a bit further in. If you look at the way the tele lens "compresses" the depth.
Take a look at how close to the fuselage the the wing tip rests on the ground, compared to the distance from the wing tip to the near edge of the test bay.
Also compare the amount of fence on the barrier in front and behind the aircraft. The width of individual panels of the fence seen in the far end of the bay helps judge the amount of fence that is seen in front of the plane.
So it appears to be closer to the centre of the north-western ("right") barrier, rather than at the near edge.
