Default Heat Shield Orientation?

Hi folks. I need a small bit of help. I'm reinstalling the driver's side heat shield after swapping out the O2 sensor, and it looks wonky. I thought it went one way - I even labeled it when I removed it. But as I'm putting it back in I'm not so sure. I may have gotten it turned around when I was fighting to get it out.

Can someone tell me which end points towards the front of the car? Right now I have the left side in the photo towards the front. Is this correct?

ALSO - in case anyone cares, between having a beat of a time getting the third bolt out of the heat shield when removing it, and dropping one of them while reinstalling - I'm most probably going to roll with just two!

Two may do the job...most just slide it out of the way to get to the O2 sensor.
