Yes, place the RHP to the far side on the hot side. Leave at least 3 inches from each wall. They should touch the side walls. How big is your enclosure?? What are the measurements of the your RHP in inches. You basically want the RHP to heat only half the tank especially if you are heating your room to 80 to begin with. You will need a thermostat to connect to the RHP. Set you desired temp and check the surface temps with a temp gun to tweek it to be exactly the temp you want.
I have several large RHP's and love them. I never you belling heat in my PVC enclosures.
