Default uncomfortable bindings & riding position HELP

Have being bording now for about 2 months and have just brought a board and bindings. The bindings were set up on the board for me in a kind of 10 to 2 position. When I am out boarding I am repeatedly told to put more weight on my front foot but when I try to do so the riding position and bindings feel very very uncomfortable. Can I change the position of the bindings so that they feel more comfortable and if I do how will it affect my riding? Please help as I am getting very frustrated!!!

Change the bindings to any position you feel comfortable in. Everyone is different and rides a different way.

For beginners a try having you front foot ducked out more than the rear so say a 10 and 12 setup on the clock. Once you progress and learn switch then try to get used to a 10 and 2 setup.
