Default 2007 Volvo S40 Rear View Mirror Mount

Over the weekend the rear view mirror fell off. Monday I took it to the dealership to have it put back on and they reluctantly did so (for a SMALL fee of $56.21!). I was told to wait 24 hours before clipping the mirror back on. Last night when I got home, I tried to do so and it appears that they have glued the mount on UPSIDE DOWN. Could someone please tell me where I can find a picture of how the mount is supposed to look when glued onto the windshield properly? I looked online for over four hours last night and found nothing like this mount. It is a 2007 Volvo S40 with a standard rear view mirror with no bells or whistles. Attached is a picture of the mount as it is now "installed" on my windshield, as well as the place on the rear view mirrow where it hooks to the mount. I have called the dealership since 8:15 this morning, it is now 3:08 PM and needless to say, they will not call me back. I will once again have to take off from work to "pay them a visit." Help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much!

I looked in VIDA, but didn't see any diagram of proper alignment. Sorry.

I glued my button the same way as the dealer did without thinking and was not able to unglue it now. I am curious if it was really the wrong way or not. How did the dealer eventually fix it ?
BTW, if it was wrong, anyone knows how to unglue the mirror button? I used versaChem 11109 real view mirror adhesive and it was really hard to remove the button now.
Thanks!
