Brake forces are applied to the top side of the bracket so it won't matter, think about the direction of the torque applied. The pre-gen bracket doesn't brace on the swingarm the same way, there is no channel built in to it so they have to use an old school torque arm set-up....Go look at some diagrams.
Also every race bike I've been around is set up to always use your dominant hand to hold and locate the wheel while using the other hand to push in the axle...Have you changed many tires?
