Like others have stated the orientation is just a clearance thing, but imo you have it mounted upside down. I had the same exact question as you years ago and was also comparing the orientation of the stock bar via online pictures. However if you lay the stock bar on the ground, you’ll notice that the stock bar has its “bend” going directly backwards I.e it’ll lay perfectly flat on the ground. Most aftermarket bars I’ve noticed have that “bend” angled upwards towards the floor of the car for exhaust/diff clearance, similar to the front sway bars for our cars. I found that because of this, aftermarket bars don’t lay perfectly flat on the ground. I could be very wrong here, but just my personal observation.

I would personally make it so the bend is pointing up, but it probably won’t change how the car handles.
