Proper bridge arrangement?

The guitar is a Fender DG-7 your typical low end acoustic guitar ,for the most part, with the solid plastic bridge that gently slopes to one end. I am restringing it for about the 1000th time and for some reason the bridge looks like it might be in backwards, as in the highest part of the bridge is on the low E and lowest part of the bridge is at the high E. Its been so long now I cant remember if I am just being paranoid/old or if I really do have it backwards.

Moreover, the bridge doesn't have an indentation for the B as some electric bridges have.

Thanks for your time.

Mike.

Update:

Thanks Shawn.

    Just so you know, that's the saddle, not the bridge. The bridge is the thing that the saddle fits into. The low E needs to be a little higher because it's thicker and needs the extra room to vibrate freely.

    Don't touch it, it's on correctly.
