Since you are already adjusting the element lengths to compensate for this small frequency change, I would not expect the gamma to tune much differently from the stock setting. It would be ideal to tune the gamma in the antennas mounting position however, I'm sure you know that's not always practical.

If you're forced to tune the gamma on the ground, it should be done in an open area with the antenna pointed straight up and the reflector on the ground. Most of the time this will produce acceptable results when mounted but there are variables that can mess this up too. If the antenna is vertical, you'll need the mast in place to tune it also.
