Default Outer oil pump gerotor orientation?

Ran into another little snag doing a cam swap. The HD service manual does not mention which side goes out or in when placing the outer gerotor gear into the oil pump. However, a few videos I watched mentioned that it's important to put it back in the way it came out. Well, I did the disassembly using the manual only and just checked the videos to double check everything before the install... So I don't remember which side was towards the motor and which was facing out. There are two dots (like index marks on cam gears), do these face in or out? Does it even matter?

While it really shouldn't matter all of those that I have seen have the dots facing outward
