Accessory case oil pickup to the oil cooler IO-540-D4A5

Hi I’ve got a Lycoming aeio-540-d4a5 engine that I removed the inverted oil system from including the plug in the sump and reinstalled a standard sump screen and cap. Plumbed the line going to the oil cooler from item #16 in the diagram below and the oil from the oil cooler to item #20. Should oil to the oil cooler be plumbed to item#18 instead?

Thanks
Bill

See below.

You mentioned removing "the plug in the sump". I assume you mean the mushroom shaped plug which was in the bottom of the oil screen recess. If not, go back and get it out.
