The explosion was spotted on July 31 at around 2309 UT and Earth-orbiting satellites registered a long-lasting C9.3-class solar flare. "The intensity is probably an underestimate because it was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw hot debris flying away from the blast site," spaceweather, which tracks the solar activity, reported.
While the explosion was powerful, experts have predicted that Earth is not in the line of fire from the Sun. Scientists are expected to get a view of the active region later this week as it comes to sight.
With the sun’s 11-year activity cycle ramping up, phenomena such as CMEs and solar flares are increasing in frequency. The Solar Ultraviolet Imager onboard the GOES-18 satellite, which launched on March 1 has also captured a massive eruption from the Sun. The Coronal Mass Ejection was captured on July 10 n the bottom right quadrant of the sun.

I think there is one in orbit about 30 deg ahead of the earth, and one behind us in the same orbit that looks at the sun.

Uh oh, global warming is on the way due to solar flares on the sun.
Relax Klaus Schwab has plans to build really big bubbles in space the size of Brazil to block out the Sun

"has there ever been a plan to position a satellite in our same orbit that could see most of the backside?"Yup....

I’m sure they’ll let us know when such explosion propels the sun towards Earth.

All we have to do is wait 6 months and we’ll be able to see what it was.

"behind the sun"
It's nothing to worry about when it's on the dark side.
