I don't think it matters. I just stuck mine on the existing longeron, and I know several others have done the same.
Why would it matter if it's "level". It would be easier to have a miter in one plane to install the upper cross braces, but haveing a compound miter is a whole lot easier in my opinion than trying to make a consistant vertical surface to attach the doubler to.
