Mine stays on the bolt when I remove it but I guess if it came off I would put the beveled side of the washer towards the head of the bolt.
In aviation there are Belleville bolts with matching washers. The radius under the head of the bolt where it meets the shank is is much larger than normal bolts and the washer has a matching radius. Normally the item the bolt is connecting to is flat and has no need of a bevel.

Proper way is to pick up a Fumoto valve for the drain plug on the oil pan.
Really, Vancouver Ford charged me $15.95 for that washer. I went with Fumoto.

I got one from my local dealer Korum Ford for only $4.00 and I thought that
was high for what it is.
