Is it on the leading lower edge of the pedal? Platform pedals will commonly have a little tab that you use to flip the pedal upright to get the cage on top. The cage would be on the top of the pedal and the tab is on the leading lower edge, not the side you would put your foot on. Does this match up to what you have?
