From the perspectives of Schema.org, JSON-LD, and search engines like Google, placing the markup in Header or Footer of your site should not matter.
You can place schema.org json-ld markup anywhere on your page.
JavaScript notation embedded in a <script> tag in the page head or body. The markup is not interleaved with the user-visible text, which makes nested data items easier to express, such as the Country of a PostalAddress of a MusicVenue of an Event. Also, Google can read JSON-LD data when it is dynamically injected into the page’s contents, such as by JavaScript code or embedded widgets in your content management system.
