Congratulations on noticing this before actually shooting something.
I didn't realize this was a problem until I was doing a shoot
(nothing important, luckily) and found the AF assist didn't work. At
all. Duh.
I wasn't able to figure out much to fix the problem. It seems to be
just basic geometry - when the flash is higher up than it's supposed
to be the AF light angle doesn't align. You could fiddle with it and
get the thing a bit closer, but only for certain distance ranges. Or
strap a flashlight onto your flash frame and try that.
