I could use some help with some questions and any other advice for the design or tips for the schematic.
Run down of the parts:
The encoder/decoder uses the 8 switch module for an address, the decoder will only process the data if it matches.
The 4 switch module is for the "data" being sent. You can either send a low or high (5v in this setup) and this will trigger the LED array MOSFET. I'm using the data so you can activate up too 4 different lights independently but also at the same time (same address on receiver but set one to '0001' and '0010' to activate the MOSFET).

1 - How should I manually activate the light? Will the way on the schematic work or is it better to have the switch parallel to the MOSFET and switch the power directly?
2 - Which side of the battery should the power switch go? I see lots of conflicting info about it being on either side for different applications.
