Alright ran into a issue yesterday during a 3000 pt team match my buddy that was playing chaos shot his obliterators(3) at a unit of mine with plasma cannons his rhino was blocking most of the unit but he could see one or two guys but placed the template in the center of the group anyway . Is this correct placement ? or could he only place them on those two guys he had los to ? Just curious for future battles Thanks!

No. As specifically stated in the rules for Blast *markers* you must place the blast where the hole is in line of sight.

Templates (which are the teardrop-shape used for flamers) follow different rules. If you can see the target unit, you place the flamer template however it'll cover the most models in the targeted unit (with the restriction that it can't cover any friendly models).

Blast markers and large blast markers have to be placed so that the center is in LOS of the firing model (among other restrictions).
