For headshots i position it just out of the camera frame to simulate a large window light

Also if youre using a speedlight you might want to consider adding a cheap ballhead to get the flash parallel with the umbrella shaft to get even coverage

An easy fix would be to insert a screw into the end of the shortened shaft if it were not such a bizarre and impossible size to find 6

It gives you that same wraparound light as an umbrella except that the panel in the front further diffuses the light giving you that soft dreamy look almost like a diffusion lensfilter
