It's A Digital Disease!

I have 4, 8tb Seagate SMR drives that I use for backup. I recently put them in my safe for better 3,2,1 redundancy. I used to have them next to my PC. However, my safe is bolted near a window unit (quite large AC). My question is, with the safe bolted to the same stud and wall as the AC unit will the vibrations from the unit harm the drives that I have in there. I was reading online that the heads aren't over the platter when not in use. So using this information, it should be fine, right?

Should I keep them where they are or move them? Thanks for the advice
