I'm trying to reinstall my front bumper. My brackets (the T-shaped pieces shown below) may be aftermarket; I'm not sure. But one side of the "T" is slightly wider than the other side, like in the photo below. Does anyone know whether that wider side goes toward the inside (pointing toward the center of the car) or toward the outside (pointing toward the tires)? Thanks.
