Aerohive AP245x antenna direction

We have a bunch of Aerohive AP245X's mounted about 22' high in an auditorium. Currently the antennas are vertical - pointed at the floor.

We also have some AP230's without the external antennas, and it seems that the clients gravitate to connecting to the AP230's vs. the AP245X's. This leads me to suspect that we need to address the antenna situation on the AP245X APs.

I'm just wondering what the optimal direction is to point these? There doesn't seem to be a clear answer when googling this. I suspect that with the APs so high, we should have the antennas horizontal to the floor. Am I right in this thinking? I would love some insight in to this. Thanks!
