You are not supposed to push the saddle MAX past the edge of the bottom clamp (red line). Having the saddle MAX at the blue line (edge of top clamp) is too far forward. in other words, all the clamp edges (top and bottom clamp front and back) have to be within the range shown on the saddle.
At least that’s my cautious opinion. It will probably still work if you push it to the blue line, but are a lightweight rider

Technically the red. Every seat post manual (that tells you anything) will tell you that the lower clamp face needs to be fully within the saddle’s markings. Many people push this and say “so long as the unbent sections of rails are fully within the *clamping* area” (which is smaller than the lower clamp face, as the clamping area is defined by the smaller upper clamp face) but they are technically wrong.

Blue should be completely fine
the edges of the clamp can be anywhere within the two maximum lines.
hope this helps
