No. Rotate(clock)the center section so the return is as close to down as possible.

i'm asking this because i saw some projects that the flange of the oil is upwrds.

could it be thats some turbos have flange also on the inlet?

Yes, some turbos use an inlet flange...

Mine does, the oil inlet was not threaded so using a flange is the only way... it's fairly common to use an inlet flange...
