Looks like ideal bottle cage bolt placement - for use with bicycle water bottles, not soup containers.
You'll note that the downtube position leaves just enough room to put another bottle and cage on the seat tube, and that cage is low enough to let the bottle sit under the top tube.
Neither of the cage mounts are for random containers, batteries, art installations, etc. That green thing looks like it will easily fall out. You're trying to use the wrong kind of cage to hold that thing. They do make special cages for stuff like that, and those cages probably sit lower as well:
