The flat part of the flange that you describe point toward the right front of the oil pan, as installed in the van. It lines up with the 2 parallel reinforcing ribs that are on either side of the part number on the casting (at least on mine). That puts the hole in the plate in line with the oil tube itself. I am looking at one on my desk right now. If you are still unsure how it goes, please pmail.
