Macht Schnell 5mm Spacer Question

So I just received my 5mm spacers and the instructions don't specify which face of the spacer should be facing out. The inner diameter that sits on the hub is angled. Does it even matter which way? So could someone give me some assistance. It would be greatly appreciated. I've searched for a couple of days now and could not find anything. Thanks.

Updated: I couldn't really find clear pictures but it looks similar to the H&R Spacers. As you can see, the inner hole has a bevel.

The outer edge of the spacer should be chamfered at a 45 degree angle on just one side. That's the side that goes against your hub. The chamfer is there to allow you to get a screw driver behind it in case the spacers get stuck to your hubs. Now that said, I'm not sure if this brand has the chamfers as not all brands do, but I believe they do as their stuff seems to be very good quality. If you could post a pic or two we may be able to help you with a higher degree of confidence.

The outer edge of the spacer seems a bit angled but it doesn't seem to be a 45 degree angle as you said. I can't clearly make it out since it is a thin spacer.
