I think the problem comes in with where we assume Gollum is in relation to the party at any given time in the mines. We know Gollum is sneaky, we know he can climb well and slither around in all kinds of dark and secret places. I would say that he was a lot closer to the company than you are assuming, was on the right side of the fire and scrabbled across somehow. Perhaps via the ceiling, I don't know. Or indeed, being small and tricksy, was on the wrong side of the fire but slithered his way through some unknown, otherwise impassable passage. That's something he's credited as doing a lot.

I'm very sorry that Tolkien didn't spell everything out for you.
