Placement → Position has four positions. The default puts it before the first heading, which means after your opening paragraph — that is right on nearly every post.
If one particular post needs it somewhere specific, put the [toc] shortcode or the block exactly where you want it. The automatic list is not added to a post that has one, so there is nothing to switch off.
To be sure a post never gets the automatic list — even before you have placed yours — set its own Table of contents box to Only where I place it. Do not use Never show it for this: that hides the one you placed as well.
