Axle Flange Question 640 Ford

After replacing seals and bearing in the rear axle of my 640 I noticed the retainer had a flange that was different than the others. I have indicated this in the photo below. The problem is that I did not notice the flange difference till I was installing the rear axle. Of course I did not notice the orientation before tear down. Does anyone know the correct orientation of this odd flange or if it even matters?

I haven't looked at my tractor but it looks like it might go where the bump in the backing plate is just above it. You might be one hole off.
