2 piece apex seal install, directionality in rear rotor

i assume the smaller pieces of the apex seals are installed so they are on the open face side of the rotors?(aka the non-gear side of the rotor, aka the side that faces the intermediate housing surface)

FSM didn't show this clearly for the rear rotor and i just wanted to verify

the "point" of the longer piece should point to the rear, so the small corner piece will be at the rear-facing side of the rotor.
