Bead.
Then get it as far forward towards the muzzle as you possibly can. The further back, the worse the shadow will screw with you. Please don't put a pressure switch on the forend. Pressure switches on a pump shotgun are bad ju-ju. ElZetta and GG&G make excellent mounts for clickie lights. The TLR-1 series is sooooo good (I own four of them) so you will have to find a spectacular pic rail clamp on mount. Good luck with that on a shotgun but you have a M-Lok forend so if you can mount a light pretty far forward you should be golden.
Just keep in mind the shadow if the light sux where it is mounted.

As nitesite mentioned, sometimes you have to play with the light position to get it to where
1. You can activate it (or turn it off)
2. Use it where the light works.
I only have a light on a winchester shotgun and it has a bead. With mine, it doesn't cast a very big shadow even further back (I can still use the light easily), but it's where I need it to be, and as a stroke of good luck, enough of the light shines right on my front bead illuminating it enough that I can use it in the dead of night too. Though, as my old friend used to say "if it's lit, it's hit", so I have gotten used to not using sights on my shotgun at night at all.
And yes, I do practice shooting at night sometimes too.

A little late to the party, but figured I would mention if other are looking for a 590 rail solution. If you are not running a bayonet, y'all might be interested in our new 590 Rail Adapter! Machined from one solid piece of 6061 Aircraft Grade aluminum, 4 Cerakote color-matched colors, and dual and tri-rail options available! (500/Mav 88 Rails in the works!)

To the OP if still around, I would go with the TL Racker , it's a solid dedicated fore end light and for me is about as far forward as I would want to add weight, it's also under the plain of sight, the light you have is 4.32oz or so, try and keep it close to guns CG if used.
