Default Upper Rad Hose install.....

Just finishing some engine work and I need a little direction on the upper radiator hose positioning.
When installing the upper rad hose, the fitting from the water pump has a raised lip half way on the fitting itself. In removing the hose, I did not pay attention to the position of the original hose as to whether or not it fits over the lip and to the base of water pump or just on and up to the raised lip. How far does the hose go onto the water pump fitting?
Thanks in advance..........
