Quick cam seal question

[Supratreo]

Hi, installing a new cam seal and had a question. Does it need to bottom out in the bracket? Every car I've ever worked on had seals installed flush to the face of the cover/bracket but on this one there is gap behind the seal of you set it flush.
Thanks

I always just set it flush.

Flush unless the cam is badly worn where the old seal sat then set the new seal a bit deeper so it's riding on fresh metal.

Yeah it's not that important as long as it's square and not riding on a worn area
