Correct way to install Exhaust bracket back side tranny pan

So, I removed the tranny pan to replace the filter and them pumped in the fluid and all seems ok.
In doing so, I had to remove the exhaust bracket but did not take any photos prior to removing and now, I'm kind of doubting if I had put it back correctly. It seems that it probably should have installed in different way, there's a metal plate with tabs that I am concern of.
Here the photo I take after I installed it.
if anyone can confirm the installation, or if anyone happens to put the car in the air, can you take a photo for me?

I have some photos I took while under mine. It's dirty so can't make out much.

Nevermind the photos i posted. My brackets are up at the torque converter, from your photos youre at the other end of the trans pan. I dont have exhaust brackjets there, just a transmission mount.

Heres a c250 underside. Zoom in to see better.

@TimC300 Thanks for the pic. I went ahead and further marked the bracket. It looks like there is only one way to install the bracket.

Comparing the photos I think I have installed it correctly, but was not sure of the purposes of the 2 tabs I circled here.
