Generally speaking, TENS pads should be placed around the perimeter of the area that needs treatment, but you should try to leave at least 5cm between electrodes. This allows the current to travel through the affected tissues. In other words, you stick them on wherever you feel discomfort. Some conditions can have more than one way to place TENS pads, and you can choose any of the options. But you should keep in mind the cautions.
