As I look around the web I'm seeing the tire being mounted two different ways. Some with the flat edge out and others with the triangle edge out. Heck even nittos web site has the triangle edge out. The video I watched from Mel at Evo had flat out. I'm going to email nitto to see what they say.
Each Grappler has two sidewall designs so you can choose how your tires look. On the Trail Grappler one side has stylized lettering with V-shaped buttresses and the other has traditional lettering with flat buttresses.

The sidewall differences are cosmetic. I mounted my last set square side out, and still had the pull, but honestly it's not that bad. You only notice it if you take your hands on the wheel..

Tire Pull
I had a rotation and rebalance done at discount tire recently. After I got it back, it pulled to the right. I took it back and they switched the right side front and back but it still pulled. I took it back yet again.
A manager happened to be walking through the bay at that time, looked down, and casually told the tech that "this tire is mounted backwards". So they dismounted the tire, turned it around, and life is now perfect. I bet this is what happened to you when they mounted your tires.
