I think
Miele Man is referring to which side of the anchor bolt, not which end. If you mount the cable on the wrong side, it will still be under the washer, but it changes the actuation ratio of the RD.
Basically the RD moves just a bit too much for each shift which compounds the error shifting from high to low.
