Default 84 corvette distributor question

Guys side note need some help. I’m replacing a bunch of old parts including the ignition control module I took my msd cap off and I noticed the rotor in this position (picture below) I’m learning whole bunch of new stuff but is it ok in this position when I turned the car off it stayed like this or is it supposed to be in the position of the 1st spark plug I believe it should face front right? Or am I ok? Either way this is the position it stoped at when I turned car off.

If you don't rotate distributor housing, you can replace module and nothing changes. Silicone paste under new module. If you plan to remove distributor to replace module and other parts. Picture can help orient distributor and rotor when distributor is reinstalled.
