I use the following code to raise helm frames:

*** Run/search menu via Emacs helm
 #launcher #runner
Inspired by [[id:Mattduckemacs_as_fuzzy_launc_and_alfred_replac6c6][[Mattduck] Emacs as a fuzzy launcher and Alfred-replacement]]
#+begin_src bash :tangle ~/.local/bin/emacs-helm-menu :shebang #!/bin/bash
if [[ "$(getactvwindclass)" == "emacs.Emacs" ]]; then
    # Relies on my key bindings
    xdotool key --clearmodifiers --delay 60 alt+l e h;
    # release any pressed modifiers
    xdotool keyup super alt ctrl shift
else
    emacsclient -c --frame-parameters="((title . \"Helm frame\") (unsplittable . t))" -e "(let ((inhibit-message t) (helm-full-frame t) (helm-use-undecorated-frame-option nil)) (catch :quit (yant/helm-org-ql-agenda-files nil) (when (= 0 helm-exit-status) (let ((fr (selected-frame))) (make-frame) (delete-frame fr))) (unless (= 0 helm-exit-status) (user-error \"%s\" \"Exit frame\"))))";
fi
#+end_src

You may be interesteed in the --frame-parameters argument to
emacsclient. Similar alist can be passed to `make-frame' from Elisp.
You can refer to 30.4.3 Window Frame Parameters section of Elisp manual.
