    bracket position on lower alternator bolt

    on my lower alternator bolt, there is a metal bracket (1" long) that supports a power steering line. the bracket was between the alternator and the engine block....should it be under the head of the bolt? the change in position changes the alternator position, maybe not enough to misalign it...but I'd like to put it where it should be....

    Thank you for the prompt response, it was between them, and a real PITA to get back in...

    now I can sleep tonight knowing it's in the right spot...
