Rear shock question

Maybe this is a silly question, when mounting the rear shocks does it make a difference which way the bolts go? (pointing out or pointing in)

Thanks

I usually point them inward no matter what just because it looks better.

Technically no, but aesthetically - heads on the outside.

The bolts should point in, but I don't see how it would make any difference.
