Plus I guess your intonation may be slightly out - maybe.
I always use the middle of the fret myself though for tapped harmonics and they jump out fine. In my experience the results are massively influenced by the guitar it's self rather than the accuracy of the player ... on some guitars they just ring out easy, on others it's a bigger challenge to get anything without a lot of gain.
Edit for clarity: some open string tapped harmonics will be over the frets because that is the one scale length where the frets are positioned at the divisions.
Additionally, individual instruments are different. You just have to get to know them and find the best place to touch the string. Also individual harmonics on an acoustic will be quiet or loud depending upon the resonant frequency of the soundbox. So if the resonant freq. of the soundbox is G, the harmonic at the 12th fret on the G string will be loud because the string harmonic is also a G. (The soundbox of an acoustic also generates its own harmonics too. It's all a bit complicated!)
If you expect to always be guided to the harmonics by the frets you can be disappointed. You have to 'find' them. Sometimes, and from instrument to instrument, they're not where you think they should be. And sometimes the same harmonic is loud on one instrument and barely audible on another.
