For velocity and geyser/ do i need floodgate in the proxy?

i heard that running geyser on the backend server is better on performance rather than running it on the proxy, but i was installing force pack the force texture pack plugin and it didnt seem to work unless it had Floodgate proxy in the plugins folder, can i just run that or should i swap geyser over there too? Whats the move, is it normal to only need floodgate there?

I would reccomend having geyser on just the proxy and floodgate on every server. That way, you get the skins and names and costumes and stuff on your back servers and your authentication on the front server. So, put it on both.

floodgate would go into the proxy + backend servers correct?

Yes And they arent backend servers Backend would imply they run a function like database It is better to call them "Worlds" or "World Servers" (personal opinion) But yes Floodgate on both the proxy and world servers
