T he Unicode bi-directional algorithm, which FriBidi implements, does not deal with positions of glyphs at all, but only with the glyph order, and in some cases with glyph substitutions. To get correct positioning you must use a shaping engine (e.g. pango or the more low level Harfbuzz). Especially for something as subtle as Hebrew diacritics positioning.
