Sorry for the delayed response. The hot lead is curved around the leading screw terminal, neutral wire curved around trailing screw terminal, in a catty-cornered fashion with two, .1uF 275 VAC x2 caps, one per terminal pair, bridging hot and neutral to help reduce AC line noise. No small jumpers were installed, in hind-sight I should have done that.
Things are about to change, as I will be swapping out the Pass and Seymor 8300 for an Oyaide R-0 outlet. I have been pondering which of the tweek materials I have, to use during the swap and there are many, such as: ERS cloth, Silver Electricians Paste, Copper Foil, Copper Tape with Conductive Adhesive, TI Shield, Metglas, as well as, an assortment of Crystals, Minerals and Rare Metal Samples, though no iridium, a bit pricey.

I am not an electrician, but was a contractor and wired many homes and am friends with many electricians. An electrician would never put a 15 amp breaker on a circuit that used 12 ga. wire. How do you know it is 12 ga wire throughout the circuit? True 20 amp receptacles are rare. They use a t shaped hot prong. The ONLY difference going up in breaker size would do is prevent breaker tripping. It is not against the law to put an oversize breaker on a circuit, but if you have a fire and make an insurance claim, be sure they will inspect things and they will find out if you had an appropriate sized breaker. It makes no difference if you curve the wire or not. My advice is don't mess with it...
I did mess, but I had an electrician supervise it (also relative). I know it is code.
