I recently took my Lew's laser apart to clean  it up and re grease the gears and lube the bearings.But for some reason i have it my head i may have installed the Drag plate upside down and can not get it out of my head.So i ask, can you insall it up side down or does it matter.My plate has one side that has a dip in it and one side that is Beveled upward .I ask because i notice my drag does not seem to be as smooth coming off the spool Even when loose.I did not take the drag  washers out or Grease them So just curious as it has been driving me crazy today
