So I have watched a YouTube vid a while back where the guy mentioned how to install this plate that secures the needle. It didn't make sense to me and I have done it in the opposite way he suggested.

I need clarity please. YELLOW arrow indicating the plate.
BLUE arrow indicating the hole. The vid said the hole must be closed. I have always installed it so the hole is open as per in my pic. It seems to make sense, why else would the hole be on both sides when it should be closed?

See below and assist if I am correct or if it should be other way around.
