How is this grommet correctly installed/oriented?

2002 Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape V6

I'm replacing the missing hood prop grommet. Here is the hole at the front of the car into which the grommet is placed:

Here is the grommet. Is side A or side B supposed to go into the hole?

For anybody who might be looking this up, I figured out that side A is what goes into the hole. Upon looking at the shape of the grommet on both sides, and seeing the marks on the body of the car, it made sense. Here's a photo with side A into the hole and side B showing:

Here's a photo with the hood prop installed:
