I have one of the original ones shown in the get started. The pinout is the same as the new one except as you observed the board is flipped 180. So yes, the component side will be facing the Pi. It’s going to get hot anyway and read high (temperature) if you plug it right onto the GPIO. Your better off using jumper cables to put some distance between the Pi and the BME680.
