I hate spigots for anything other than a bottling bucket. Too hard to keep clean and sanitary while in use. For bottling bucket I go as low as I can and still get a good seal. I just have to be careful not to sit it down on the spigot

Tilt the bucket to get the last of your brew out.

Fill it, lift it to where I am doing my bottling, then tighten the wand to the 6 o'clock position.
Let us know how it goes. You can always try it out with water first rather than spill beer
