...it's the LOCATION. Both should be on the bottom of the caliper.
It's the rebuilder's error, not the seller's.

All you need to do is look at the top joining line.
If the outer half has a dimple, it's WRONG.
It's upside down and cannot be completely bled.

P.S.

You can use your MityVac to pressure bleed by using the pressure port and a modified MC cap as others have described.
