Based upon just looking at your setup you may need to move it forward a bit. It really depends on you and the optic. Every optic has a different eye relief but generally they are in the same general range.
Get behind the rifle (how you plan to shoot it, bench or prone or whatever), keep your eye closed as you move into position and fit the rifle to yourself. Then open your eye, see if you have a clear view down the optic. There should be no scope shadow in you FOV.
If you open your eye and all is well then leave the scope where it is, if you have scope shadow then you will need to adjust the scope forward or back. Most people dont take the time to properly set up an optic. They just mount it and run it. Doing that makes you conform to the rifle and optic rather then setting up the rifle to suit you.
The goal is to be able to get into position on the optic the same every time, with having to search for proper eye relief.
