Why is it recommended to sit in the middle for service if its your first time

I’ve read lots and lots of threads, posts, blogs, etc. leading up to my first Shabbat next weekend, and a common theme in all of them is that you should sit in the middle, not out of view. But they don’t elaborate on why.

Big imposture feelings already, and definitely over thinking this, but also just would feel better understanding the why’s for what I’m doing. I definitely will try and sit somewhere in the middle, to pick up cues and hints on when to stand/sit/bow, but is that the reason?
