Water distribution tube

Took off my water pump to get rebuilt. I've a question regarding the water distribution tube. This is for a 37 120c, if it makes a difference. The tube that is currently in it is in great shape however the front of the tube is slightly bent/folded back against the block, about 1/4", it looks like a couple tabs, I'm assuming the purpose of that was to hold it in place? However to me this would cause the pump to not sit flush with the block when installed, even though the tube itself is really thin. Was the tube installed correctly or does the tube simply get pushed into the block with it stopping on its own thus being flushed with the front of the block? Or does it need that little fold to hold it in place? Just wanted to make certain before installing the pump. Thanks
