There's no "wrong" way to do it. But to answer your question, yes you can.

If one was concerned with the placement of the spline, as long as the reel is still sitting on top of the spline, the placement of the guides would be immaterial as to being on top or on the bottom of the spline. The blank will still flex the same. Just another manner to come up with the same answers as all the above. I makes no difference.
