Based on what you like, you can use a shoulder pad between the shoulder and the playing device. This ensures that the space between the back of your violin and shoulder is filled.

Then slightly turn the it towards the center. The device should be just in front of you and almost in line with your nose. There can be some deviations. For instance, when playing the lower strings you may bring it even more to the center whereas when playing the higher strings the tip of your thumb finger is away from under the neck and therefore it shifts slightly to left. The deviations should not however be extreme.

The thumb should point towards the back and the hand in addition to the fingers well placed over the instruments strings. The thumb is to be opposite your first or second finger. You may have to change the position of thumb but ensure it maintains flexibility and relaxation. In addition, position your thumb well so that is neither too straight nor slightly bent. There should be a space in between the thumb and the first finger.
Your elbow should be under the violin at the same time pointing slightly towards the right. The wrist is to get straight in a position that is comfortable and well aligned to your forearm. The elbow should not bend towards your neck or the scroll. The neck of the device is to rest on your left hand first finger base knuckle. Your left arm ought be under the back such that it is not visible from the right side if you look down the top of it.
To hold a bow of your instrument, tilt the wood slightly to the fingerboard. Then place the bow on string at roughly the center of the bridge and fingerboard. Finally draw the bow in a straight line while maintaining the bow parallel to bridge.
If standing while holding the musical instrument, your feet should be well apart and the left properly aligned to this device. The right is a little bit behind the left foot and also turned out.
