I know it should be in the bottom half, but I don't know if it should be in the bottom right, bottom left, or the middle. My first inclination is the bottom right, but I want to make sure.

I apologize if this has been asked before! I didn't see it when I searched.

Anyway, ありがとうございます for your help!!
You should have mentioned if you are writing vertically or horizontally as that makes a huge difference.

Here's how we native speakers are taught in Japanese schools (though you obviously aren't attending one).

Vertical: top right

Horizontal: bottom left

In each, the bold part is more important than the other.
________

Finally, you don't say ありがとうございます there. You say it only when service has been rendered. Learn to say おねがいします or よろしくおねがいします.
