Crucially, the difference in density is small enough that diffusion forces dominate at room temperature. The only issue with placement is ensuring the detector is in an area where the air can easily diffuse to. E.g. don’t put it in a closet, behind a dresser, or in a highly concave corner. These positions will eventually detect CO, but due to the room geometry it may take significantly longer which can easily mean the difference between life and death.
