On the 12K bars you can flip them over and insert them into the same "reciever" since it's slot is centered. If you flip over a 14K bar, it will not fit in the same 'reciever". You would need to swap sides with it.

You are half right and half wrong. If you read the current installation instructions, it says:
Insert spring arms into the sockets in the hitch head. Arms for the 12K and 14K models are side specific. They are notched slightly off-center, and should be inserted into the socket with the notch on the inside, and with the label facing outward
The 14k and 12k are both notched (offset) but the smaller models are centered. So, it is very possible Deep Trax and the customer service rep are correct.
Maybe something has changed since you owned them?
