I thread the Buckle through the loops counter clockwise. Tail goes to the left away from the gun. I AIWB a spare mag at 11:00 and the tail goes over that clip. The buckle also goes almost over the clip, about 11:15 of 11:30. It evens out any slight bulge from the front of the holster which is about 12:15. The resulting printing, if any, looks like a centered belt buckle.
