Some styles utilize / date/ name/ place/ as paragraph/section/chapter headers, but better to the side. Not in the middle. This sets everything down precisely.

Leave the top middle for pithy statements, prose or verse.

You still should indicate the flashback just as if you didn't have that placement info above.

It can be subtle or not.

Thirteen years ago in Marmazo, a small boy struggled to reach a fruit ...

She drifted off...

A smile came with fond remembrance...

"Damn, Parkerson would like to have seen this. He said it couldn't be..."

Flashes came to him of that fateful day...

He was alone, but he could still sense Stanz watching
and quipping "Damn, boy you going to kill yourself..."
