This side was facing into the cone. Is this right or did I have it backwards?
9-ball retainers generally have the open side facing into the cup. 11-ball retainers have the open side facing the cone on the spindle. It appears you had it backwards. Loose balls always work, so no compelling need to re-do anything at this point.
