Default Front Brake Pads Fitting on 04 FXDXi

Hi,
&nbsp\\;
I've just fitted new (EDC) brake pads.&nbsp\\; I noticed that the original pads were fitted in different positions in the left caliper when compared with the right caliper.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
By this I mean that the pad with the 2&nbsp\\;long "ears" was on the outside of the disc on the clutch side, but on the inside of the disc on the brake lever side.
&nbsp\\;
Can anyone tell me if this is correct? And if not, what the correct installation is please?
&nbsp\\;
And yes I know I should have got the service manual first! Am ordering one now!
&nbsp\\;
Thanks.
