Default Fuel pump foot

Anybody know which way this foot goes on? Flat to the bottom or the top? Does it matter? Not even sure what it's trying to do...

Many thanks to any input!

Found the little dimple inside to line it up the right way. Decided to give a little extra help so, more fishing!

Zip ties that pesky footer!

The cone goes the other way. Or to say that the cone goes to the bottom of the tank.
That lines up the pump. There is a hole that it fits into.

It goes the "other way", large flange first, tapered end out at the tip...

Thanks for the replies! Looks like I got it right. New gas tank does not have that built in foot holder ring. Just FYI, bought it from Quadratec.
