Once earned it goes centered above your name plate, or any unit citations you wear. AR 670-1 is helpful http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r670_1.pdf

Congrats, I started out as an engineer, reclassed twice since, but I will always be an engineer.

PFC Private RallyPoint Member first off welcome to the regiment.
Per page 212 of DA PAM 670-1:
(2) Females.
(a) On the green and blue uniforms, the service uniform shirts, and maternity tunic, females wear the RDI centered 1/2 inch above the nameplate or 1/4 inch above any unit awards or foreign badges that are worn. When the coat lapel obscures the RDI, Soldiers may wear the RDI aligned to the right edge of unit awards or the nameplate. Wearing the RDI on the service uniform shirt is optional.
(b) On the blue mess and evening mess, and the new version white mess and evening mess uniforms, females wear the RDI centered on the right lapel, with the top of the RDI aligned with the top row of miniature medals. On the old version white mess and evening mess uniforms, females wear the RDI centered on the right side of the jacket (not on the lapels). The RDI is centered between the lapel and shoulder seam, with the top of the RDI aligned with the top row
of miniature medals. The RDI is worn so that the vertical axis is perpendicular to the ground.

Congratulations. 670 series of publications are always your friend, though it does not always seem like it.

If you are speaking of the " Regimental Affiliation Crest " 1/2 inch above and centered over the name plate. Not centered on the name, the plate.

I have a (dumb) question about the pin. My flight warrant officer packet was recently accepted. When I pass flight training and reclass from 12M to aviation, would I no longer be eligible to wear the engineer castle?
