Default Big Sucker installation help please

I'm installing my Big Sucker A/C and am at the point where I'm installing the gasket over the the throttle body on my 07 Low Rider. The instructions that came with it say to "peel the adhesive backing off and affix it to the throttle body as shown" In the diagram it shows the gasket in a certain position but if I position it that way as shown the adhesive side is facing out? The instructions are soaked with fluid so I can't really see it well and Tech Support at Ness is closed till tomorrow. Can anyone help me out and tell me the right way to affix the gasket?

I'm not 100% sure but perhaps you need to stick it to
therear of the big sucker's backplateso that when everything
is tightened down, the gasket will make a seal with the throttle body.

Thats what I did. I stuck it to the back of the back plate, greased the 4 orings in place and bolted that baby on. Make sure to use a torque wrench. Too much muscle will strip the heads out and you dont want that...good luck.
