I cleaned some paint chips out that fell into the hole today and the filter and gasket came up, but i didn't see which way it went. Does the filter side of the filter go up or down? And does the gasket go on top of the filter or below it?

This is just a guess, but based on the picture that you submitted, it appears that the gasket goes on the top of the filter basket as shown in the picture. My reasoning is that the ID of the gasket matches the OD of the projecting flange on the basket. Plus, it looks like the thickness of the gasket matches the height of the flange on the basket. As to what the orientation is of the basket/flange unit, I'd look at where it came out from and see if any of the tabs on the basket or the gasket matched anything inside the unit.
