I have a 1943 Remington that I made into an A4. Don't start, it was already drilled and tapped before I got it

I use an unissued C stock on the rifle. The steel insert for the rear bolt that holds the action to the trigger guard is my concern, the insert resembles a roll pin in a way, and the opening in it makes it resemble a 'C' in cross-section

The opening of the 'C' faces directly rearward. Logic says that this should face forward, if maximum advantage is to be realized

Please see image below:

Am I worried about nothing, or should I remove and re-install the insert 180* degrees from it's current position?
