Default WTF IS With These Lifters

Ok i bought a set of comp "r" Lifters (part # 875-16) for my 2002 T/A well they are different than my stock ones, the flat sides on the Comp R's are the same way as the roller, stock ones are oposite, ok that is confusing, basically slide the Comp R's into the Lifter Tray and the roller is setting sideways WTF???? Am I Missing Somthing here Or are theses f'ed UP???

i guess comp machined these lifters wrong, when i put them in the lifter tray they look like a in-line skate, which is wrong they need to be turned, i hope no one else has had this problem

Go with some Morel lifters. Top notch from what I've heard, also pretty damn expensive.
