For those doing manual to Auto, can someone clarify flexplate bolting please.

[ChevyDude]

The flexplate has recessed area's where it bolts to the torque converter...just so I don't bolt it in backwards I thought I'd ask the dumb question. Maybe this will be helpful for others as well.

In the first picture, should this be the side out (away from the engine) when it is bolted the crank? Or is it the second picture that should be facing you when bolted to the crank?

Thanks...this old tile setter needs some help mechanically from time to time!
