Default Inner cam bearing direction???

I just installed my a set of andrews 26 cams in my 06 street glide yesterday and everything went well except I just woke up from a dead sleep at 4:30 am and realized i don't remember checking the direction of the inner bearings. I know that everything I read said to install them lettering out but I'm not sure if I did. Is it worth tearing the whole thing down again to check them or will they be fine?

The letter side is made sturdier for installing them. If they went in smooth I wouldn't sweat it.
