where is ajna chakra located some say between brows which is third eye for some again some say third eye is a extension of ajna chakra which is located in the middle of your brain if ajna chakra location is in between brows then wouldn't it disrupt energy flowing straight up from root to top to crown chakra

Depends on whom you believe. For some, chakras are real energy centres inside the human body, others think they're located in some non-physical energy body, others still consider them merely an abstract model among many. A very long time ago I did some kriya yoga workshops where the first step was to pump energy from the root chakra straight to the third eye via the spine, with the tip of our tongues directing the final stage of the energy flow (the idea was to become more insightful right from the start). In the second one, we pumped energy from the root chakra to each chakra consecutively up to ajna but this time pointing the tip of our tongues to the centre of our heads* instead of to a point on the surface between the eyebrows. We also learned a method where we kind of leapfrogged chakras, e.g. 1st to 3rd, 2nd to 4th and so on. The point was that energy can be directed at will irrespective of any energetic obstacles.
If ajna impeded the flow of energy from muladhara to the crown, then you could argue that every chakra below it would act as a barrier as well. Moreover, one of my pet peeves in occultism is when people think that subtle energies behave analogously to phenomena in the physical world. Note that I wrote 'pump up' in my workshop description - it's just a figure of speech but many people consider the entile chakra system a sort of energetic plumbing and think of it in terms of hydraulics where nadi blockages are treated like clogged pipes that need some thorough scouring while the real problem might be elsewhere and not related to the chakras at all.
From a magical perspective, I'm wary of self-fulfilling prophecies here. Is this or that chakra really undersupplied with energy, or is it simply my imagination and all I'm doing is debilitating myself even more with my occult hypochondria? Whenever I notice that a chakra feels weak, I prefer blame it on the psychological difficulties associated with that chakra or on entirely mundane reasons, not necessarily on the flow of subtle energies inside my body but that's just me. Anyway, I don't have nearly enough practical experience with chakras, I might see things differently if I practiced pranayama on a regular basis.
PS: The instructor told us to guide our energy to the "centre of our heads" without mentioning the ajna chakra. There are secondary chakras all over the body, many of them in or on the head, so you might want to look into these and see if there's one in the middle of the brain.
By 'from a magical perspective', I mean that I don't care whether those subtle energies are objectively real - if I want them to be there, they bloody had better to be there, and so it is with the chakras and the way they work. And yes, I have a chaos magic background
