Yes Fly, you are right. But if you stick it into the glue at an angle and then pin the paper flat against the cage, it would mimic the natural position hopefully. But just what a natural position is, may not be so clear. LOL! These two silly BSTs double stacked on me. Loads of room in the cages and they did this. Had me worried at first but the first (darker) eclosed just fine, because like you said Fly they emerge from the head or large end.
As I was finding that pic to post, I had an idea. You could make a small harness or loop of netting and pin it up. As long as the large end was a wee bit outside the edge it would work, and that would avoid the whole glue thing (which makes me nervous too).
