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 think the effectiveness of a clamp varies with the record. On some records, a clamp controls resonances and lowers noise. On other ones, it overdamps.

Just my 'pinion based on limited personal experience.
