Form a line from your shoulder down through the club and place the ball anywhere in your stance. You'll notice you'll have more loft as you move the ball from back to forward in your stance. Rock your shoulders and allow the club to do the work.
There is no one correct ball position but as a general rule, the worse your lie the farther back in your stance the ball should go (this is for the short game only!)
