Help: Rear brake caliper clip orientation? (5 Viewers)

[Super77]

Putting my rear brakes back together, cannot recall how the pad retainer clips go in.

When I took them apart, the clips looked like this. Note the orientation of the one with the little notched piece indicated by the arrow.

And this end didn’t seem right at disassembly. See how the clip closer to the camera looks backwards?

So I put them back together symmetrically, which makes sense to me, but I’d love to see a pic of it done right.

This is the as-found clip orientation on the driver side. The bracket is oriented in the pictures same as on the vehicle. Note the clip with the notch is facing down (in the lower position on the bracket) on both the inside and the outside pad on this side. On the passenger side, that clip is facing up (in the upper position on the bracket).

My reinstalled and refreshed passenger side rear caliper. Note the notched clips facing up on the passenger side (on both the inner and outer pads)

Looks like someone just forced one of them into the wrong position.

So what is the right position?
