Uh, no. Super MAC platforms were move able, so they would have repositioned themselves. They can even turn upside down. I agree that it's an error in the canon because, think about it, you make the weapons on Reach, you're gonna keep a lot of them for yourself. Did you see how many were spread out around Earth in Halo 2? That's actually covers a lot of ground, so Reach should have 3 times as many MAC platforms. The books even state that Reach is more heavily defended than Earth.
The actual Reach canon error is how none of the UNSC ships in the books were there for the fight. There should have been a few Marathon cruisers & a bunch of Frigates at the scene, since the rest of the reinforcements were on the way, which includes the Pillar of Autumn, that's trying to return from Sigma Octanus to Reach.
The book says that Reach is more guarded than Earth because of the ships, Reach had only 20 SMACS, a terrible mistake if you ask me, but oh well.
