Brembo pad direction

I've been searching but haven't been able to find an answer. Which side is the chamfer/angle on the stock brembo pad when installed in the caliper? Is it towards the bleeder screws or the crossover tube? I'm converting an 06 and the donor pads didn't have the chamfer so I don't have a starting point really. Thanks for any help.

The rotor rotates into the chamfer if there is one.
I also thought OEM Brembo pads had arrows on the back.

They do have arrows but I don't know which way that goes. By your statement the pad should have the chamfer on the top when installed? Thanks for your help.

The arrow points in the direction of tire rotation.
If you have the chamfer on top the rotor will rotate into the chamfer which is correct.

I didn't know that lol. There should be a little slip in the box that says what the arrows mean
