Mounting Orientation Of Gooseneck Coupler Head # 291300

Question

Question:

Does the locking pin go in the front or the back when assembled to the trailer before installation and welding? My guess is that the rounded surface is to the front of the trailer and the flat surface with the pun to the rear- please verify. Thank you.
