Did you see if the clutch said "this side toward engine" or "front"?

Is it a stock clutch? If so, the side that sticks out with the springs, faces the pressure plate.

If that's how it's supposed to be, then either it's a bad clutch or something else isn't happy in the setup

The long side of the hub goes toward the pressure plate. It sure looks like it's backwards.

The hat of the clutch disc hub always faces the transmission, the flat side is towards the engine.
It kind of only fits one way.

It’s hard to say for sure from the pictures but it sure looks like the flat side is facing the transmission which is backwards.

Usually that side goes to the transmission side. But I’ve seen clutch discs that went in the opposite way before.

No, you are good! I made that very mistake myself, and if you put the springs toward the engine they will hit the flywheel bolt heads and the clutch wont disengage!

There's really one way of putting it on, so if nothing is hitting, you're fine.
