Default Brake Dust seal orientation-O ring caliper upgrade

Got VB&P O ring brake caliper conversion kits for all four on my 71.

Dumb question-which way does the metal "U" on the shield go? Open end inward towards the bore or outwards away from the bore? Currently rebuilding the front.

Also, the dust seal seems to already to be able to seat itself without "tapping" it in? But haven't tried really seating thee dust seal until I know about that orientation.
