The trick is to study them and learn what they like and what they don't like.

The gobies like a laminar flow that isn't too strong.
Further, they like the flow coming from the front, flow from the back makes them uncomfortable and they will encourage the shrimp to change the exit of the burrow.
They like to have a clear view on their surroundings.

The shrimp itself is not very picky. It will dig it's burrow wherever it finds the right gravel and supporting rock.
Without a goby the shrimp doesn't care too much about where the exits are as it will be mostly night active and rarely leave the burrow.
