Expansion valve fittings question

Hi all,

I am refreshing the aftermarket ac system on my old Porsche 914. New hoses, compressor, etc.

I ordered a new expansion valve but notice it is different than the original. Specifically, the location of the high and low side threads is reverse, The smaller threads for the original are on the side looking down at the valve, the larger threads on the bottom. Just the opposite on the new one.

Is this a problem or no?

Thanks.

Like that on my truck as well, just a new design.
