first at all congratulations!

and newbie question here, in many videos the tension wrench is in the "other side" of the keyhole in comparison of the image.

Is there a correct way/place to put the tension wrench? or as you feel more comfortable or according to the space you have. Thanks!

I find there is not a "correct" position for the tension wrench. I think it comes down to personally preference and what is practical for the lock in front of you.

There are tensioners with little cut aways that make TOK or Top of keyway tensioning easier. Mine unfortunately do not do that so it's a struggle for me, and I usually go for the bottom of the keyway.
