Flipped ball joint boots

This is the right place for a question so stupid

bought 4 new ball joints, ordered XRF brand, two were xrf, two were BAW.

Anyways, as you know the top ball joint boots have a double bump, and the lowers have one.

My new ball joints are the other way around, the double bump is on the bottom and the single bump is on the top. What the hell?

Can anyone see a problem with this? I wasnt even gonna bother asking but my curiosity got the best of me.. And the fact that I dont wanna do this again

Yeah, the crappy OE brand ball joints I ordered off e-bay were flipped around as well..

There has to be a reason..
