Hood tension rod

[Rhinkel]

So I got the car back from the painter a few weeks ago. The hood was weak in holding up but I know the tension rod is good. The end here is poking out. Did they put this in backwards? The curve should be going towards the front of the car correct? I know this is quite a job to fix so I'll take it back of course. Please confirm. Thanks. Rob
