2007 S6 - Front Coolant Pipe Gasket

Hello. I am doing a bunch of oil seals on the front of my S6 and just ran into a question. This is a photo of the front coolant pipe connection to the block. Its hard to see, but the new seal seems to be very slightly tapered and I’m wondering if the wider side goes toward the block or the pipe? Or…does it matter? The photo showing the squished installed gasket is the original. TIA!IMG_2594 IMG_2596 IMG_2595 IMG_2593
