Fakie manuals

so I've been trying them for a while and has gotten some progress but it's not significant.
When I do regular manual my heel is hanging above the brake, but I can do manual without pressing on it, so I am also able not to brake while fakie manual. I wouldn't like to change the stance for fakie manuals, because it'll make them feel differenty from regular ones.
Those of you who can do them, how do you keep your feet on a deck during regular and fakie manuals?
Will it be fine to practice them like this considering I'm planning to bar\whip etc. into them in future?

Jon Reyes seems to do normal manual with the heel above the brake but I can't really see if he keeps the stance same when fakie manualing.

Jon Reyes and Alex Steadman both do them without their foot above the brake most of the time and they're pretty much the best at fakie manuals. That's how I do them too, and I'm not very good at them yet but I feel better with my foot away from the brake just incase.
