No, that rectangular boss under the caliper bolt on the right side (front side) is supposed to be in a slot in the swing arm. That boss is responsible for keeping the caliper from spinning when it grabs the rotor. The slot allows the caliper to move forward and back with chain adjustment. With it loose on top it will stop the bike going forward but the break line would be stopping it going backwards.
^This......
it is installed forward as it is supposed to be- it just is wrong
