Michell Gyro SE upgrade to Orbe clamp?

I just bought and installed a Michell Orbe clamp upgrade to my Gyro SE. The instructions do not mention which way the acrylic finishing ring should be installed. It appears to have a flat side and a convex side. It fits over the knurled platter locking nut either way. So... should the finishing ring be used with the flat side up or the convex side up? Perhaps... flat side up for thick records and convex side up for thin ones?

I have the Orbe SE. Put some of that bluetak putty on the underside of the clamp. (I used the cheap white stuff from Walmart stationary section. $1 for a big blob) It will help dampen some of the vibration. Make sure you don't fill too much of it or it stick on the record label when you clamp down.

Would be good to know which arm and cartridge you are using. I am currently using SME V and Shelter 901. On my way to Japan/Taiwan next week. Will be keeping my eyes open for some cartridges...
