Hello Again! 
 
I want you to look at the picture I've posted.  I have a dedicated room for recording.  It's very small (only 5' X 12') but it serves my purpose.  I know I'm never going to fit a drum kit in there but I don't play drums anyway and EZ Drummer 2 does that great for me.
 
What you're seeing is the short wall.  In April of 2016 I submitted this photo and others covering the rest of the room to Aurelex and they sent me a graphic "blueprint" of where to install the panels. https://imgur.com/a/WaGzfHC Notice that the bass traps are where the bass port are in the back of the speakers.  My question is did Aurelex give me bogus information on where to place these?  I hardly get much bass response no matter where I set it in the mix.  Can this be why?  Keep in mind that as this room is very small I don't have too many options, but this is how they told me to set it up. This is the first I'm posting an image here.  I hope it works.
 
Thanks!
John B.

Yeah.  I did that and it came up something like "Not A Legal URL"
Thanks, scook for posting the pic.

I just right click, copy image location . . .  (Firefox)

Practicing.

That is usually the result a bad paste. The url I posted above worked in the Insert/Edit image dialog. Another way to get the image in a post is click in the image in your imgur account and click on copy next to the BBCode string and then paste that directly into your post.

 
BTW, those monitors (JBL LSR308s) look pretty big for the closet you have them in.

Yay!!  I did it!  I tried Matron Landslide's suggestion and it worked.  Thanks ML.
Now that that's settled can we get to the original question?
Thanks!

I had a very similar experience with my speakers. Originally they were around 2" from the back wall the wall and got a great bass response. However to free up some desk space, I recently put them on mounted wall stands (which brought them as far form the wall as your speakers) and the bass practically disappeared. 
 
I'm using IK Multimedia ARC 2, so after taking new measurements it sorted it all out by boosting the bass a fair amount.
 
I know that some HiFi speakers are actually designed to make use of the wall behind them for bass, but I didn't think this was the same case for studio monitors... maybe it is for some, I don't know. My speakers certainly needed a bass boost though after moving them away from the wall.
 
I would recommend ARC 2 though (or some similar speaker measurement software along with a hardware stereo graphic eq). This will allow you to compensate for various frequency responses.
 
The angle of your speakers did catch my eye on your photo though. It looks like they're angled so the crossover point is just between your querty keyboard and monitor, whereas it should be where your ears are. I'd expect them to be angled to hit your ears around the middle of your chair - maybe it's just an illusion of the photo tho.
