Does Channel Nut for Thule TK1 Have to Face Specific Direction

Question:

Im installing my old Thule TK1 mounts from my old truck to my new truck. I noticed the mounting nut plates have a Ainch on one side of the nuts . Not sure if the Ainch should be facing up or down as it does make a difference in mounting. Thank you

Do they look like the part # Y8810074 which is actually a Yakima anchor plate that has the A stamped on it? Either way it doesn't matter which direction the A faces as the threads will be same direction either way.
