Normal driving and a few stops will mix the additive with the fuel in short order.

It's fine and it will mix, just maybe not right away like right that minute, Nothing to worry about.

At what level does the fuel filler neck enter the fuel tank?

As others have said, the additive will mix with any amount of gas in the tank regardless of when you put in the additive. However, the only concern that I can think of is that...
...some gas tanks have a spring loaded check valve at the tank where the filler neck goes in. And the additive may just sit in the filler neck. It takes the force of the gasoline being pumped in, in order to push open that check valve. IDK if these check valves are still being used today.
I had a Honda Accord with an OE gas tank check valve. I never knew this until years later when I had to replace the gas tank. However the replacement tank did not have the valve.
Just something to consider.

Well, unless you've dropped the gas tanks for repair/replace in other vehicles, you couldn't/wouldn't possibly know.
Those who have issues with the gas pump constantly clicking off while filling the vehicles with gas, may in fact have that check valve that I speak of. I could never fill this particular Accord without issues. It was bad in the cold winter as it took longer to fill. I just couldn't hold the handle/trigger at full blast when filling like with other vehicles that I've owned
2 yrs ago, I dropped the gas tank in my daughters 2006 Mazda3(which she recently sold) for repair. It DID NOT have the check valve and did not have any issues filling the tank. But, I've had issues over the years with other vehicles but, never had to drop the tank so, who'd know?
Most likely you don't have this check valve in your vehicle however, I think it's best to put in the fuel additive/injector/intake valve cleaner FIRST for the reason that I mentioned.
