I could actually be that the non-emulsion side is slightly rougher than the emulsion side. I have a dim memory of working that way with color. In the worst case, you could cut out a mask out of thin paper and place the film on the mask. The thin paper will raise it slightly off the glass. The negative holders that come along with scanners hold the film slightly off the glass.
