I just did this about 6 weeks ago. the strainer goes on the bottom facing upward. the bottom cover goes under that. you will need 3 seals.
1. bottom cover facing up,
2. put seal on this between it and the strainer, and
3. put another seal between the strainer and the tuna can
4 put seal on top of tuna can and attach to car.

I don't remember which way the part you were asking about goes, but it will only fit one way. I think the longer part goes down, the shorter up, on top of the strainer.
Some choose to use gasket sealer on the seals, I just put oil on them, I have not had a leak since I installed mine.

Good Luck.
Phil

Thanks Phil, How did you get the long bolt to go thru the strainer?
