Theirs your first problem!
Mount them inbetween the rad and IC

2nd you need to let the hot air escape, bonnet raisers ant the prettyest of things but will help no end! Save you having to melt everyone in the car.

And/Or you could get some bonnet louvers but i dontthink they'll help half as much as the bonnet raisers!
How about fixing the issue that it's overheating first.

First try a new thermostat (get an 82 degree thermostat from Christian and Beccy on here).

It could be that the intercooler is restricting too much flow to the radiator. However, wether the fans are infront of the intercooler and radiator or between the intercooler and radiator will have no bearing on the cars engine temp while cruizing. Only while the fans are running (it will take slightly longer to cool down). What condition is your radiator in?
