My knowledge of emacsclient is very limited.  And the fairly recent
introduction of `gui-method' has limited my knowledge of how frames are
created even more.  Hopefully someone else can give you an advice on how
to do what you want.

In any case, you should be able to use `after-make-frame-functions' in
order to reposition your frame on screen but I'm not sure whether that
could introduce some flickering.  Please try it.
