I had a similar situation where the back surrounds could not be placed ideally. For me it was that they could not be centered exactly behind the seating positions. After trying really hard to like the way it sounded with the rear centers I reluctantly put the speakers in the gargage and stuck with 5.1.
If you already have the speakers, try different things. I have heard of success where people put them behind the couch facing up.
Don't be afraid to accept the fact that 5.1 may sound better in your situation. I know that it was very hard for me to mentally accept. I really wanted to like the extra speakers. Every room is different and not textbook.
