Hitzer 503 Firebrick Layout

Good day - I had my 503 installed and the technician humbly stated that he was not 100% sure of the proper layout for the firebrick inside of the stove as there is no layout instructions provided. I noticed there are two "tracks" inside of the stove... Track 1, or the outside track would allow the bricks to sit vertically and snug against the sidewalls - Track 2, or the inside track would allow the bricks to sit at a slant (much like a forward slash) and allow air flow behind them. Can anyone advise whether there is a right or wrong way?

My 503 only has one track and the bricks are up against the wall vertically. I love to see the two tracks you have in your stove. Maybe there been a design change since i bought mine.
