Which way is correct?

You’re holding it upside down. Flip it and the chamfered edge of the outer race will fit the angle of the cup.
The chamfer on the outer race goes towards the frame.
According to the pic, you need to flip.
Chamfer onto race. Flip it.
Also check if ever it doesn’t fit perfectly inside the frame once you put the fork / stem together. Sometimes, it is necessary to use a press to make the bearing and the fork precisely. Your LBS can do that for you easily.
