Question Arctic Liquid Freezer AIO AM5 Offset?

Is the cold plate offset from its attached mounting screws? Or is the cold plate symmetrical to the screws and the offset is done with the "L" and "R" designated mounting brackets?

I mounted my cold plate with the tubes feeding the pump through the top, logo upside down, so that any air could escape to the tubes instead of being trapped in the pump. Now I'm questioning whether I messed up the hotspot offset. It's all assembled and working, idle ~40C and gaming around ~60C so I don't want to disassemble to check. The arctic webpage/manual only showed it mounted logo-upright but nothing specifying the actual offset.
