boyesen 2 stage reeds

as above, had these in shed for ages, fitted them to 125 today think they have crispened it up slightly but nothing like i thought they would. i fitted the petals the way they seated best but still slight gap. isnt this ok to have slight gap? does the pressure from the piston decending from tdc keep them closed.

i heard if its only a slight gap it should be ok,but some petals are meant to be fitted the correct way round.some will be smooth on one side and not the other.some can be smooth on both sides but still need to be fitted the right way round.apparently it is because they are designed to flex one way.
