bushings should be centered. But I have also seen them installed with bushing side towards mounting point.

i always installed them with the part that sticks out onto the spindle first.

does that make sense?

sticking out section sliding on first.

The longer section faces the upright/hub.

We've discussed this plenty of times before.

correct, it helps space the coilovers out a little bit for more clearance on the uprights.

They only fit one way.
