You look fine to me. Personally, I have a preference for flashes- side of the leg like you have them for casual, and towards the shin (actually touching the shin bones) for formal. This ideal comes from observing pipers. It seems that when they are dressed in full regalia that's how they wear their flashes. And personally, I think it just looks better- as in, more formal. The point of the things (other than to hold up the socks) is to add a touch of extra color to the outfit, and they seem (to my eyes anyway) to achieve that a little more if they are to the front a bit. Like McMurdo said, it's not a uniform- it's clothing. Wear it how you feel most comfortable.
