Buffer guide rod???????

OK,I have a really stupid question.New to Mini's and just got a S/S ranch model.Took it apart to clean and(here is the stupid part)didn't notice which way the buffer guide rod goes back into the buffer.The way I understand the manual,the tongue portion of the rod goes under the buffer cross pin between the barrel and cross pin.I guess the slanted cut on the rod goes against the cross pin.Is that correct.Please help!!!!!!!I promise,no more stupid question's(maybe)....................wardog 911.
