Rear backing plates

I replaced my rear backing plates with later ones and all went well. As I was connecting the new brake lines I noticed that I installed the plates with the nuts on the outboard side when they should have been on the inboard. There is no interference of any kind and everything is finished, should I take it all apart and reverse them?

If you are 100% sure there is no interference, then roll with it.
 
Trevor,
the completed rear end is still on the stand, but there is no interference. I had much rather redo it at this point vs on the car if there is any possibility of an issue. I replaced the bolts with grade 5 so there should be no issue with strength.
