Is it in an appropriate position to have say a side table or something in front of it?

There are also blackout stickers for led lights you could try

Just put a piece of sticky tape over the lights if you find them intrusive.

I would say with reasonable safety that there will never be an Openreach installed ONT that will allow you to turn the lights off. The ISP is not responsible for the ONT, Openreach are responsible for it and to allow for some sort of light adjustment you would need to log into it and hold some user level access to perform that task, the ONT is completely locked down as far as the end user is concerned and for good reason, it will never happen so you're going to need to put tape over it.
