I was going to dispute this statement since I went to nvAero web site and looked at the Diehl landing gear there now for sale and it is only tapered on one side. But, then I pulled out my construction photos from back when I was installing my gear and back then the tri-gear mains were tapered on both sides and followed the shape of the aluminum mounting brackets exactly. It appears that today the same mains are used for both type gear. Both Larry Howell and Chris are correct. Regardless of which type leg you actually have, on either set up, the angled side must be inward against the bracket flange.
