Why do you want to set them on your track? Pain in the harse moving them and resetting every time you use the trail. Very simple to find a suitble spot off the trail where you can easily attract them over and ideal for multiple catches and dispatch.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

On tracks a bit tighter than that I put a small pine tree or some such in the center, standing up, and let it lean on a tree on one side or the other. Scraggly 12-15 footer. For cats just trim enough lower branches for a clear track walk on each side, snares put there. For coyotes same deal only I trim all lower branches up better than waist hi only leaving a scraggly branch or two on each side to hid the snare stands, but not sticking out far enough to impede the clear track. Cats don’t mind going thru a bushed down opening, coyotes need to see clearly thru. Another for coyotes find a spot where those side standing trees are thick, lay a bushy tree perpendicular to the trail, trees to trees. Then on each side of the trail off each end of the obstruction, set snares in the first couple openings between trees standing perpendicular to the trail. Coyotes will see the obstruction and go left or right around it thru the first opening, nail them there.

Snarin the side trails is a good option so you can drive the 2 tracks.
As far as further funneling there is no need. Big Shane got me to just hanging snares over a worn trail and it works. On an open trail loop size gets less and less important because all you have to do is get the height right. The coyotes are moving much quicker and with a loaded snare it has them long before they know what hit them.

I set tire tracks alot. I stagger multiple snares down the road . If you set them up correctly, you should be able to travel down the trail without bothering the snares.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

I’d look at setting the cross trails more into the woods more, snaring in the open would be forced.
