I have never liked my strap buttons in this position. It always tilts the the guitar down and away from me. Maybe it is because I am short and of smaller stature than many folks. I only have one guitar with the strap button on the heel and I adjust for it but it is not my preferred location.

To the OP, I find that there is only one way to place the strap so it doesn't twist when the button is in the location where you describe. I hope that you knee heals quickly.

Best,
