Japanese term or phrase: 場合における
下半ハウジングに上半ハウジングが取り付けられた場合の(における)端部の位置

Can this be just said "the position of the end portion in a case where the upper-half housing is mounted on the lower-half housing"?
I wonder if "in a case where" is fine or just "when" would be better in this case.
Is "in a case where" too hypothetical?

The whole sentence is here:
下半ハウジングに上半ハウジングが取り付けられた場合における端部の位置と
取り付けられていない場合における端部の位置との差

Thank you.
