TAZ 5 hot end installed correctly?

Hi.

I recently bought a used TAZ 5 printer. I noticed that the hot end is loose, but I’m pretty sure it’s not suppose to be (it’s my first 3d printer, so I’m just guessing here). I checked some photos in the internet and I think the aluminium back-plate that’s suppose to support the hot end is not mounted correctly (I attached a comparison)? I reached out to the seller, but he still haven’t replied yet, so I decided to create this thread.

Thanks for your help,
Tom.

The plate in the bottom picture is backwards and upside down(reason the hot-end is loose).
