This is only true for a few enemies. The arms and tentacles from Hullbreaker, and orbs on the final boss in ST in particular bypass any positional requirements, but most all other instances do not such as Demon Wall and the actual Kraken head in Sastasha Hard. Leviathan's head has front and flank positioning and the tail has flank and rear positioning. You can tell if the enemy by passes the positioning requirements based on the target circle when the enemy is targeted. If it is a full circle with no indicator for front (arrow) and rear (piece cut out from the target circle) then positioning is bypassed, but if you see the arrow to indicate the front and the rear section cut out then position is considered.
