The "bow tie" is a phased connector for the signal. This antenna is tuned for a specific UHF channel, and is normally used with the elements horizontal and the main boom pointed to the station. I think the end pointed to the station should be the lower end as you have it mounted.
The way you have it, you will get some reception from stations in the direction into or out of your wall.
Edit - you did say channel 13, so that's probably what it is tuned for
