Is there a way to mount a light so it can be used when shooting off either shoulder without mounting at the 6 o'clock

Just use a remote pressure switch to turn it on.  You'll be able to turn it on no matter where its mounted as long as you can squeeze the pressure pad.

Set at 4:30-5:00 or 7-7:30 you can set a flashlight in relation to a forward grip so that the hand indexes the grip and the thumb goes upwards and use the side of the thumb to operate the tail switch or the hand grips the vertical grip so that the thumb wraps around behind the grip across and up to eperate the switch with the other hand.
You could even mount a flashlight on both sides so one was constant and the other was operated by a strobe switch if you want to use the disco mode

That or run tape switch to the forearm where it could be activated by either hand or back to the pistol grip to be operated by the trigger hand.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but the Mossie Tactics "Midnight Mount" and a Surefire X300 achieve your goal.  LINK
