They are in front of and located laterally outside of the radiator. Air pulled by the fan (through the fan shroud) cannot affect these vents. The only air that could influence them would come through the grille though they are almost completely hidden by the fascia.
The pressure increases inside engine bay when the fan runs closing the flaps. without the flaps hot air would be pushed forward through these vents back to the front of the radiator.
