Can flex plate be installed backwards? Th350 install

Can the flex plate be installed backwards? Took the flex plate off to check if oil leak was coming from rear main seal or oil pan when I was replacing my th350. Totally forgot to mark it.

Mostly done installing it and it dawned on me about not marking. Checked converter to flex plate clearance and I’m a hair over 3/16” so I added grade 8 washer after I micd them so I’m a hair over an 1/8” now, but under the 3/16”

71 350 with stock flexplate and th350.
