Default Installing TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)

OK, the wife was complaining about stuttering at high speeds. I figured I
must have installed the TPS wrong.

The HAYNES manual states
"the throttle plate should close and the TPS unit should be rotated
CLOCKWISE into position)
ref Haynes Manual #25040 6-10

Now, I am holding the throttle body in my hand as I type. When the TPS unit
is rotated in the clockwise direction to fit, as the manual states, this
opens up (what I am assuming is) the throttle plate.

The TPS unit can be rotated in the COUNTER-clockwise direction to fit onto
the throttle body without opening up the throttle plate.

It should also be noted that there is a hose connection on the throttle
body that impedes the TPS from being rotated clockwise.

Is the manual in error by stating that the TPS must be rotated clockwise?


Thanx
