Inner/outer valve spring contact, is there a special orientation when installing?

Hi,

A perhaps naive question. I installed some valve springs on the 911sc today, noticed afterwards that the inner and outer coils make contact with each other maybe two coils down from the retainer. I took it apart, flipped the inner spring and now there is a gap where they would have contacted. Besides having the more tightly coiled section of the outer spring nearest the head, is there a trick that is used to align/position the inner and outer springs relative to each other so they don't bind? I've searched online for 1/2 hour, I can't be the only one who's wondered about this, and they were seated right, I believe. (new german oem brand springs)
