Thank you!

Short answer is "B"
Aim your tweeters away from glass and flat panels, to avoid second reflections and fool your brain with unreal signals.
Without a processor left tweeter may be more off axis to lower the level since right tweeter would be more on-axis towards your right ear. In other words you need to balance the tweeters so it feels like you are in the middle.

If after playing music for a while your Left ear hurts that means the Left tweeter is playing louder, a mechanical way to fix this is having the Left tweeter off-axis to minimize the level, you can play with the HU's Balance and with high frequency sounds (like a female voice) you can actually have a better center image, give it a try.

How I did mine, I went a step further and been able to control each tweeter with a processor, Left tweeter was aiming to my Left ear (my tweeters had a very bad off-axis response) so reflection on the window are minimal. And Right tweeter aimin at my Right ear.

In the CLS and in my CLA with OEM sound system I do this see below.... move the balance towards the left side a bit to get a little bit of center image, you can play with it move it left and right and yes the high frequencies would move left to right, try to center it in the middle of your dash...
