as long as there is an aircock at one of the tappings at the top it will fill.
I dont quite understand what you mean though, pictures would be better.

Thermo and lockshield at the bottom, aircock and plug at the top, absolutely fine, make sure you have fitted the Thermo on the flow (doesnt matter if its a two way TRV)

As long as the bleed valve is at the top it won't matter.
