I am with you, the E30/E36/E46 that I have seen and worked on have had the adjustable perch on the bottom? Unless the spring or perch unseats or moves around as it is now, I don't think its the end of the world.
But if you have the time, and the shop is standing by their work (which they should) might as well get it installed as the manufacturer designed them to be. And based on the posts already I guess that is with the perch on top.
