If your goal is to have rests in both voices shown as a single rest in
its usual position, instead of manually positioning the rests I would
use the Merge_rests_engraver.

\version "2.20.0"
\new Staff \with {
  \consists "Merge_rests_engraver"
} <<
  \new Voice {
    \voiceOne
    c''4 r4 r2
    R1
  }
  \new Voice {
    \voiceTwo
    c'4 r4 r2
    R1
  }
>>

Best wishes.
