I found a used retaining and support ring in good condition, put those in and it worked fine. The old support ring was indeed slightly bent – I’m assuming the PO worked on it to tighten up the throttle action and went a little too far with it. And yes, flat side of retaining faces up. Sold this motor some time ago and new owner tells me it’s still running strong.
