Default quick LCA question

so i bought the adjustable rear LCAs from UMI and ive had them on my car for the last month and im about to get the relocation brackets welded in tomm so i was looking at install pics so i know what were doing and while lookin at pics it looks like i installed my LCAs backwards, is this possible?

/\ what i have

i put the rubber bushin part on the body of the car and the metal sleeved part on my axle, on the relocation bracket pics it looks like they have it the other way around (bushing on the axle and metal sleeved part on the car), does this matter? and if so what is the correct way of doing it, ill fix it tomm if needed when i do the new brackets, thanks

Rubber end on car body, rod end on rear. This makes for a smoother quite ride as the vibration is cancled with the rubber/car body contact.
