Aborbers proximity to walls and speaker

How close can you have an absorber to your speakers
My room is quite narrow by placing an absorber on the side walls to treat first reflection there isn't much room between speaker and wall does this effect impact

I was told due to the loading of the room I should be using a 4 inch panel instead of a 2 inch one but that won't give me any room

my room is 12'wide and the center of my speakers are 18" to the wall and 16" from the 242 to center of my speakers.
You seem to have alot more room on the side walls than I do.
The 242's(even with my limited width) do a lot for cleaning the music.Aren't the 242's 4"depth.

I read a post by Ethan Winer where he had said that it was better the speaker is closer to panel than farther away.
Can't seem to find it,was either on music player.com or the
Audio circle site.
244's will absorb more bass also.
Wouldn't those 1st refection panels be a bit better lower,
they seem a little high(tweet shooting center of trap)more or less.
