Default Propeller Extension mounting

I'm installing the Saber 2.25 inch extension for the Hartzell HC-CY2R prop and notice that the extension bolts take the place of the prop bolts in the engine flange. Therefore, the index bolt in the prop that locates the blades at the 0 or 180 location is 30 degrees off from the engine flange hole for which it was intended. Hartzell has no problem with this, but I can't help wonder what effect this will have as there must be a reason that it is indexed this way. Am I missing something? Or, doesn't it matter? I ran an FAQ but either don't know how to do it properly or this isn't covered. Thanks.

Got my answer from Saber: It doesn't matter whether mounting 30 degrees before or after. Verified by tests at Reno.
