You'll have to enumerate the Control collection of the MdiParent form. Look for a control of Type "MdiClient". When you find it, you can call it's SetBounds method or set it's Location to appropriate values.

For Each c As Control In MyMdiParent.Controls
    If TypeOf c Is MdiClient Then
        Dim client As MdiClient = DirectCast(c, MdiClient)
        client.Location = New Point(...)
        Exit For
    End If
Next
