Generally speaking, you want the weights as low as possible on the frame and the flotation as high as possible on the frame. This will give you the best stability on the surface and in the water.

Horizontally, the flotation and the weight should be "stacked."

The center of your weight should be below and in line with the center of your flotation.

For a quick test, you can try tying weight to the bottom of your ROV, suspending the weight from the bottom "pulls" the ROV to the correct positon.
