Ignition switch mounting problem

I am finally putting my instrument panel back together. I have what I think is an NOS ignition switch. It is Delco D-1427. There are 3 support legs that butt up to the back of the instrument housing. There is a locate bump on one of those legs. However, there are 2 locate holes in the instrument housing.
Can anyone tell me the correct mounting position for this switch?

Thanks

That would help. It's a 1959.

Not being a wiseguy but it should be pretty apparent....pick the mounting position that has the key at the correct angle when the switch is in the "LOCK" position. With only two choices it should be straightforward.

You may have to put the lock cylinder in to get it right then remove it again to snug it down...
