Sram red caliper brake pad washers

I just bought 2 sets of used Sram Red caliper brakes from two different sellers. Both sets came with the pads on but all four pads have the washers stacked differently or flipped over.

I am sure there is one correct way, anyone know what that is?

The flat sides of the washers face the brake arm, and the dished sides face the corresponding dished surfaces of the screw and the brake pad holder,

allowing the the pad to pivot for adjustment.

Thanks Woodcraft!

All set now, one of the sets had four flat washers in the mix and had me a bit confused, got it all dialed in now.
