Most friction plates are marked and it could be either way depending on manufacturer and fitment.
However going out on a limb and assuming an m20 it tends to be flush to the flywheel and protrusion into the clutch cover, which is pretty much the norm on all stuff.

Thanks, I should've taken more notice when removing it, lesson learned.
For the record, it's Sachs.

FWIW, not the kind of thing you think about until it is too late.
Still not something your likely to do twice.
