New XS Ember Night Sight opinions

I just got this yesterday (pic #1) but haven't attached it yet until I can get some opinions from others with maybe the same setup. I have a Mossy 500 that I've attach a flashlight (pic #2 and #3) to the top of the receiver which also comes with a remote pressure switch. I'm not sure of 3 things. 1) Do you think there will be any issues since I can see a little through the mount or maybe better over the top. 2) should I get a different mount which is lower and 3) Do you think the Ember Night sight is the proper one since the flashlight is behind the sight and will shine of it or would the Orange Big Dot be better. Please let me know what you think

I'm a little confused. Are you going to aim with the new front sight (which you probably won't be able to see) or with the light?

If you are trying to aim with the bead sight, you're going to be shooting way high if you have to look over the picatinny rail.
 
Thanks for your input. After I mounted the light that's what I was thinking but wanted some other opinions. I had asked those at XS Sights about just the picatinny rail and they said that it shouldn't interfere with sighting but I can remove it. I like the idea of a flashlight so I'll have to see about maybe mounting it some where else return it.
 
Decided to go another route. Got a NEBO Protect mount and attached it to the mag tube with the flashlight and then attach remote pressure
