Default 85 globe-shaped canister re-install

I had my 85 in for a complete paint job a few weeks ago and part of the job involved removing the front clip (i.e. the bumper). Under the hood on the driver's side up beside the charcoal cannister is another cannister which is globe shaped and has one small rubber hose attached at one end. This part had not been reinstalled after the front clip was reattached and haven't seen a pic to show whether it should be installed with the hose should be coming up from the bottom or going in from the top. The globe will install either way. Maybe it doesn't matter but if it does, I'd like to be sure I have installed the right way. Can someone take a look and say with confidence that their's is mounted the right way?
Thanks!

Hose end goes toward the road.

Just had mine out last weekend because I dropped a screw behind it(vacuum cannister), and the hose on mine enters the top of the cannister ball
