Default 1le rear lca bushing install . . .

I bought some used lca's and drilled a few holes in the old rubber bushings and then hammered the old bushings out.

How do I install the new bushing, there are a few indentations along the outside of the lip and the inner part has a seam where the metal sleeve is rolled together. Any certain way these go in? Such as facing the lip vertical so as to avoid any horizontal pressure?

I attached a pic of the bushing, please look at it and advise.

I used a socket and a vice to push them in.

I'm not asking how to do it . ..
Let me explain my question a little more:

Do I have to position the new 1le bushing in any certain way before I install it.
I was thinking the inner sleeve lip should face up or down so any force in this area doesn't gap it any. Maybe I'm being to critical?

Again . . is there a certain direction these are placed in?

!Please see pic!

No certain direction; just make sure they go in the same way to old came out WITH REGARDS to the outer sleeve, not rotation.
