Default RC Adjustable LCA installed upside down?

Recently got an alignment and it looks like the shop has left one of my LCA upside down. Does this really matter? Essentially, on the body side, one side is "flush" and the other has about a 1/2" lip. Also means one grease fitting is on top and the other is on the bottom. Is it worth asking the shop to correct this? Drives great.

If it has a bend in it, the bend is supposed to be pointed down. That is so it won't contact the shock mount at full droop

There is no bend, but the part where the bolt goes through is "offset". See pic. I am guessing its not a big deal other than one of my grease fittings being vulnerable.

OK, I see what yoiu mean now. The offset is to set the distance on the axle from mounting at the factory. That is taken care of by the threads on the arm. So other than grease fitting, no reason to mess with it
