I don't place them by 12th fret, etc. I've never been able to get a balanced sound that I like with that typically recommended placement. I just place them in front of me lined up at an even height, and sit in front of them. Here's two different photos I've taken at different times.
Here's a bird-eye view of one setup, wider, 18 inches apart, I think, maybe 20.
And here's a closer setup, this is probably 12-15 inches at most. The mics look like they're at different heights, but that's because I have one hanging upside down for no real reason (other than a taller stand). The capsules should be more or less lined up.
Angle doesn't really seem to matter much, mics aren't that directional. I may turn them in or out to fine tune the balance in some cases.
