I don't know exactly where the first camera was placed, but if you examine images of the LEM, you will find there are plenty of places where the body protrudes out far enough to view the exit hatch. Aldrin had to install a camera on a jutting mount, but that was the second camera.
Thanks for the info. I figured back then they will need some long mechanical arm in order to do that but I did not see that long arm
