Direct them toward the surface. If it's not enough put them further down the side pointed up at the surface. Or put them at the rear of the tank on the side and point them at the front of the aquarium and the surface. You need to deflect the water flow and agitate the surface. Pointing them from one side to the other always seems the best but often it may not be.

PS....The pp-8's won't move enough water in your tank. Just try positioning them differently.

With tank being rimless you think pointing them up will be OK not used to a tank this size my last one I had when last in hobby was a 180
