Default Need tube help

I am ordering a rear tube for my son, he has a 97 wide glide, with spokes rims. The stem comes out of the top at an angle out the raised part of the rim. Went to order the tube and the girl wanted to know if I wanted a center stem or a bent stem or side stem.
My bike is tubeless so this is all new to me.
Thanks for any help.

A side stem is for the hole in the wheel which is offset from the center of the wheel. The other designs will work with the hole in the center of the wheel. If you are having a shop install your tire/tube I prefer to buy my tube from the installer in case a tube issue arises after they install it.

Thanks checkers, the stem is so close to the center is what has me confused, and I can't find a side stem.
I am mounting it myself
