The correct location for placing the mezuzah is on the counter top, (indicated by the left red arrow). The reason is as follows, since the counter top is higher than 10 tefachim, it is regarded as if the wall goes to the ceiling as indicated by the green arrows.In Halacha this concept is called 'Gud Asik Mechitzasa' which means 'the wall is considered as if it goes up' (see Rambam Hilchos Sukkah 4:4). See also the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 11:12.
