It would not be required that you mount a Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D12906, in any particular direction, the line pressure from the transmission will push the fluid through the cooler regardless of if its mounted horizontally, vertically or any direction in between.

I would recommend you choose a location based on receiving maximizing airflow through the cooler, regardless of what direction it points.

I would also recommend you get a Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter, part # D13035, so you can install your transmission cooler without having to cut or flair transmission lines.

I attached an FAQ article on transmission coolers below for you to check out that you might find informative also.
