I'm swapping glh springs onto my L-body struts. Is there a particular way (orientation) the spring hat goes on?

I was looking at my 89 mini fsm and it said the notch on the hat should align with the lower mounting point. On the L body strut hat I found no notch but there is a tab. If I align that with the lower mounting points the spring rubs the inside of the strut tower on the car. Is there a specific way that spring hat should be oriented?
