Middle crossmember, which way?

I took the crossmember out when I took the tranny out. Which way does it go back in. It is the crossmember under the bellhousing. It looks like one way, the top is level with the ground and the bottom is tilted and the other way, the top is tilted but the bottom is level with the ground.

The top center section should be close to level, the bottom section tilts up at the front about 30 degrees from level ground.
A pound out, clean then pound back in PITA item.

Wow, have had mine out plenty of times...but never knew it would fit more than one way?
It's definitely a PITA to put back in. Usually a 5lb hammer convinces it otherwise!
