Default Early 28 front brake arms

I am attaching the arms to the front brake shafts on my April 28 roadster.

According to the Judging Standards (7-5), the arm should tilt slightly toward the front wheel.

The arms slide on to the shafts nicely in one direction, resulting in them tilting slightly away from the front wheel (first image). When I try to flip the arms to fit as the RGJS imply, the fit is a no-go (second image). This is true for both sides.

The difference in final brake rod eyelet location is 1/16". Is this going to be a problem getting the brake rods to clear the shocks? Or am I ok just assembling them the way they seem to want to fit?

Thanks,
Steve
