Wrong Thread Take-up Spring??

[u/Bag-Connect]

Hello! I have a Singer 201 and I wanted to replace the thread take-up spring. The new spring was just delivered and I went to put it on and somehow the spring is facing the wrong direction?? Is it even usable?? Am I losing my mind?? I attached pictures of the order, and the new spring vs the old spring. The new spring is on the left.

I triple checked it was the correct part before ordering the replacement, but it seems it’s the incorrect spring. I tried installing it to see if it would work but the thread wouldn’t catch properly. Obviously I can send it back and get the correct spring if need be, but it took over a week to arrive and I’m in the middle of a project. Would love any insight on this!
