New Flexplate, need help!

My new flexplate differs from a stock 350 flexplate, so which way does it go on, because one side is flush and the other side has a 1/8" or so lip, and im not sure, havent done to many motors myself. thanks

AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PICTURE THAT ITS FLUSH ON THIS SIDE, SO IS THAT THE SIDE THAT SHOULD FACE THE MOTOR OR THE TRANNY?

of the 2 new pics, the first shows the side that goes to the transmission, the second goes to the engine. otherwise, that little lip in the center would keep the flexplate from seating against the crank
