I do not think it matters much.

As pointed out the cast brackets are going to connect them together in any event.

It is important to remember to slant the wood more then 4 degrees forward so you will not get a line at the base of your top. The back of the top is angles 4 degrees (so I am told, not sure I have the data to prove it) forward and you have to allow for the bow drill which will be covering the wood.

To be sure with my car I mocked up the top and ran tape up and made sure the wood cleared this tape.

If you look at the factory photos you will find the wood may have been shaped after installation to the body. You can see one photo with the wood going straight up and another where it is shaped with a slant if I recall correctly.
