LT1 rear swap question

I just installed the rears and the E-brake assm. was in the way for the normal mounting location on th4e passangers side so I mounted it the same as the other side. My rear now has bother calipers mounted on the back side of the wheel. Is their a purpose for the drivers side to be mounted on the back side and the pasanger be mounted on the front side? Is what I done ok?

The LT1's (PBR's) are supposed to be mounted on the back side. The old system had one forward, one rearward.
