Just replaced my multi-valve handle for sand filter

Hello, my multi-valve handle sprung a leak at the gauge. I just replaced it (the entire top, not just the handle). Because the ports on the new handle were female instead of male ends I had to get a couple of adapters to get it to fit, which means I had to maneuver the sand filter around a bit to get the return hose to line up. After hooking everything back up I realized the logo on the sand filter is about 90 degrees out from where it was originally. The return, pump and waste hoses are all hooked up correctly. The only difference is the base (the sand filter drum itself) is rotated 90 degrees. Since it looks like it's just a straight pipe going up through the center of the sand filter, I'm assuming this doesn't matter? I figured I'd get an expert opinion before I fire it up.....
Attached is a photo of the part I replaced. Everything from the 6 bolts mounting the handle and the ports up is new.
