Default Throttle valve rod and linkage on 1956 Thunderbird

My question has to do with the attached photo showing the linkage connecting the FM TV Valve to the carb linkage.

My question is should the bracket pointed to by the yellow arrow be flipped around so the “L” part of the bracket points in the opposite direction toward the middle of the engine? The reason I ask is that the end of the “L” is rubbing on the vacuum hose (red arrow) and the long leg of the bracket is hitting on the pivot point of the throttle linkage bracket (blue arrow). I thought flipping it over would fix that and it was probably installed wrong when I reassembled these items after installing the engine.
