The original bulbs came with a plastic ring to help hold them in their shipping case.  I split it and put it behind the bulb, then carefully pushed the bulb retaining tangs onto the plastic ring.  This kept the tangs more even.  Without them you'll need to push the tangs down a little bit as well as bend them inward in order to retain the bulb.  I oriented the bulb just like the halogen it replaced, tab pointing up.  No shadows were cast, full light is output.
