How can that be?  If tab is in the right place, screen can only go in 
one way. Correct position (while looking at front of camera) is with tab 
to the right. If you flip the screen with the wrong side down (dull side 
toward mirror) tab does not align with notch in frame, frame won't close.
I did once get a batch of screens from Beattie with the tab in the wrong 
location, so the only way to use it was wrong side down (and all 
resulting pictures out of focus).
