'41 D19- "X" part of the window regulators installed backwards?

I installed the windows and parts in the '41 coupe,  which previously were missing, so I had no idea of how the original parts were oriented.  That detail is  not shown in my shop manual. I eventually found a Youtube video of the regulator installation and it appeared the spring-loaded "X" part he installed had the clips (and the studs they go on) facing the outside of the doors, away from you.

I did that.

It seems to me that it would have been easier to install the clips if those parts were facing you, instead of away from you. Those parts are mirror image right and left, so it is possible they can  be installed either way.

For clarification, the photo shows a similar scrap part I have with the clip studs (at the bottom) facing toward you. Per the video, I installed these with those facing in the other direction

Did I put them in wrong?  Did I put what should be the left "X" on the right side door and what should be the right side "X" on the left side door?

Thanx!!
