How To Properly Mount The Side Load Bright Way Breakaway Battery And Box

Question

Question:

Can this be mounted with the screws facing down writing face up / parallel to the ground, so technically the battery will be sitting sideways in the case? Or does it need to be mounted from the side as shown in the installation video?
