The large intestine in the right upper quadrant is behind the rib cage.

The corner where the ascending colon turns the corner and becomes the transverse colon is called the hepatic flexure

The bottom lobe of the liver is in front and above it, and the kidney is further back.

So, the large intestine in the right upper quadrant is positioned more towards the centre of the body.
