There isn't a right way and a wrong way. The way you have them makes it safer if anything falls in behind the face of the cord end, but gravity will put the cord and if it unplugs this way the ground is at chance to be the first not the last to become disconnected. CEC diagram shows the 15R receptacle with the prongs up? your choice.... Good job so far Looks great.

Naturally everything that is plugged into a receptacle will normally sag down, exposing the live and neutral increasing chance of electrocution. With it being the other way just the ground is exposed minimizing chance of electrocution.
