The Phoenix USA QuickTrim Hub Cover for Trailer Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - ABS Plastic - Chrome - Qty 1 # QT545C does not require any specific orientation for installation. You simply align the bolts with cap and press it into place. I've attached a video to assist. The back of the cover will hold tightly to the lug nuts on your trailer wheels.
