Default Is this a problem? Rear differential cover upside down

I replaced the rear differential fluid in my car today and I am not sure if I put the cover on upside down or not. Is it a big deal and should I be worried? I took it out for a little spin and everything seemed alright. I have a stock 10 bolt.

it wont go on upside down bc of the high side made to fit around the ring gear. It would rub if you put it on backwards.

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better. Nothing is rubbing/grinding so it must be on right. The rear sounds so much smoother now when I shift too after changing the oil.
