Cheek weld doesn't have a part in using an eotech or Aimpoint. You could lift your entire face up off the stock and as long as you can see the dot on the target you'll hit it. That's the great thing about the dot-sights.
I'm guessing you don't shoot with your nose to the charging handle?
Looking at your set-up you could still move the eotech forward with the stock fully extended and install your rear iron while still obtaining a good sight picture with the eotech/irons.
Throw your nose as far forward as possible and your "problem" will negate itself. Install your rear iron.
The eotech/aimpoints will work better more forward than to the rear. There is no eye relief or parallax to worry about, what you see is what you get regardless of where your cheek is on the stock. With the irons, the closer you can get your eye to the rear aperture the better sight picture you will get.

To take the BUIS off the rifle so a 1x optic that could be mounted five feet away and still work is not common sense. Put the Eotech forward and put the BUIS back on so you have something if that battery dies.
Not trying to be an ass just trying to pass on some COMMON SENSE!
