Default Jack stand question

I have the jack pucks on my C8Z. Where do you put the jack stands when the puck space is being used by the floor jack.

I purchased Jackpoint stands which allow you to jack up the car on the puck, then insert the stand and remove the jack. I installed the Apsis front splitter with them and had plenty of room to get under the car safely. Saved me the labor of having installed in a shop that charges crazy labor rates these days. Will do my own oil changes using them as well.

Jackpoint stands
LOVE my Jackpoint stands. They became my goto lift solution for the Blackwing since the CT5 is so long and my QuickJack wouldn't fit. Now that I have an actual lift, I don't use them as much, but they are still great for quick mx tasks (wheel swaps).
