Nope, doesn't matter. I have all 3 of mine on their side(n2o, fuel, and purge), everything flowing through them is under pressure anyway, gravity doesn't play a roll here. You can probably find a lot of pictures of others installs that show all different kind of mounting positions

Yup, you will be fine mounting them sideways.

We have mounted solenoids in all kinds of directions and areas. Some cheap solenoids do not work well with heat or pressure . These two things may be more of a concern.

I would get them as far away from any heat as I could
