Is there a point to start the B so that it is right side up when it is screwed in?

My seems to end up tilted forward.

I am wondering if there is a trick?

They generally don't line up - it's just too difficult to line up the thread in the tube, the thread on the crown and the stamping on the B to have it upright. If they do line up it's just luck.

It's obviously easier with a non screw in crown!
