2005 f150 suspension ?

I'm replacing all the front suspension on my truck, upper and Lower control arms, etc...
I completed the passenger side and when I went to start the driver side I noticed I put one of the bolts on the passenger side in the opposite way on the lower control arm, so instead of the bolts heads to the inside facing each other.. I put the front bolt in from the front...
SO my ? Is does it matter which way the bolts face on the lower control arm? Should I leave it alone or go through a little trouble and take it back out and turn it around before I take it to get alignment? Dumb@$$ ? I know lol.. but any input is appreciated

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'd take it apart and do it right.

I have made this mistake while being distracted and it didn't do anything. Never broke anything or came off. Just every time when I go to work under there, it reminded me to pay more attention. When the LCA got shot from old age, I just made sure I put them in the right way next time. No harm, no foul.

If it bothers you, just flip it.
