Are the stock mufflers mounted on the inside of the bracket (closer to the wheel) or on the outside between the bracket and foot peg mount?

I ask because the bike I have which was purchased from a kid who high-sided it at least once has the inside of one muffler lightly rubbing against the swing arm. There are a couple rock dents and scratches on this muffler so I know it has hit the road at least once. Just from looking, I can't tell that the bracket is bent.

I am not sure he re-mounted the mufflers properly on the right side of the bracket. Given the amount of other stuff I have found wrong with the bike like loose, stripped motor mount bolts, missing and loose bolts and parts in several other places, I don't have a lot of faith that he put them back on correctly. If he did, this one has a bent bracket and I will have to figure out a way to bend it back to where it should be.

Thanks for any help.
