Post Help with ball joint installation

I'm installing a new upper ball joint in the control arm and not sure if the rubber boot and retainer (thin flat plate with flange that holds the boot) goes on top of the arm or below. I did not receive instructions with the new ball joint so I'm not sure.
It looks like it could go either way although it seems like it might not fit through the hole in the upper arm if I mount it on top.

Anyone know how it should go? It is a moog ball joint.

thanks

I believe the boot and retainer mount under control arm, like you said, it doesn't fit through the top.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
