It looks to me like that trim piece needs to be attached (with the screws) and then the headliner inserted into it. Which way it faces would depend on how the other end of the headliner attaches. Not knowing that, I can't really help. Someone with a '46 truck will need to weigh in.
The center trim piece on my '51 looks nothing like John's (and I suspect a '50 would be the same as mine.) It is shaped like a Z in cross-section (no screws) and crimped to the forward piece of the headliner, the sides and front of which get retained by the door windlace and the windshield trim, and then the rear section of the headliner inserted into the groove in the center trim and the rear of that section secured to the interior roof panel with the other trim piece with screws.
