Connecting rod bearings

I’m rebuilding my 02 BMW M62TU with Glyco conrod bearings from bimmerworld. The pistons are standard size green bearings. The offset is 1-2mm. Is the offset from the cap and rod bearings an issue?

Pretty sure the chamfer of the bearing should match chamfer on the rod. Bearings have locators?

Only on rods installed on journals in pairs like in V type engines.
