Direction of Freeze Plug

[Amar1995]

I installed the balance shaft removal kit in my car. The kit I used had the rubber coated freeze plug. Does it matter what direction you install it? I installed it with the recessed portion facing inward. So it comes flush with the casting on the front cover. I have seen some pics of other installs and the recessed portion is the other direction. Am I going to have problems? I can post pics later tonight since it is hard to describe. Should I pull the front cover back off and flip it around?

The bronze recessed side goes towards teh block, the black flat side goes away from the block. Use a little rtv around the lip of the plug too.
