looking at my helms, it looks like the washer from A and the bump stop from B lol.
In the picture on here it looks like the bump stop goes thick side up, and the washer looks like it goes flat side up. So the washer kind of fits into the top of the bump stop. but in your pic, that looks like the rear? bump stop from the energy suspension hyperflex kit ( i got the same one... so far one bushing installed lol) so I'm not sure on how that should go in there cuz the skinny end has the opening...
um... i would imagine you'd want the small hole on top so the rubber doesn't break or anything but I dunno... hopefully someone that does will pipe up lol...
good luck!

um... just had a brainstorm that might help- you could check and see how well it fits in the top of the dust boot... just an idea.

bump stop I believe is thick side up tapering down....washer goes concave side up, like a bowl. If you dont you'll get an annoying squeek from back there, personal experience.
