If you have been in your attic over the garage you will see multiple wires stapled to the top of that 2x4. Blown insulation doesn’t move if installed properly with baffles at the outside walls to keep the insulation from going into the soffit vents. Batts should be installed before flooring an area however

Sorry, but over time, blown-in insulation always moves due to the airflow (wind) from your attic vents around the soffit.
Batting never moves and you can get a much better R-factor in batting than you can in blown-in insulation.
