Behind the fork is more aero than in front of the fork because.. probably doesn't mess up the airflow before it passes over the front of the fork blade or frame as much but I'm not aeronerd enough.

Sure but why the mounts are so low? I thought maybe because at that height the speed of the wheel spinning is lower compared to traditional positions closer to the tyre thus creating less interference and turbulence with the mounts themselves?

What do you mean low? They need to clear the downtube at the front and at the rear they could help shield the rear wheel rather than mess up the seat cluster. Because you're not allowed fairings but if the brakes act as a fairing...
