41 v8 lower radiator hose

[Veeder]

Sad I’m asking this but….
I’m replacing 1 of the lower radiator hoses and as you know they are S shaped. One end of the hose has about a 1 inch longer piece of pipe then the other. Depending on which way I place it it puts the hose just about touching the torsion bar or the other way it puts it within an inch of the fan blade.
Is there a right way that this hose should be installed or is this just a fluke??
