No, at this size the flap would be far smaller - roughly the bottom 10% of the area circled. I have illustrated on this photo of my 2.5" female - red is where you have circled and the blue is where the spermathecae and flap are.
That is why it is so difficult at the smaller sizes - what you're looking for at only 1.5" is very small.
@jrh3 Don't get discouraged. Once you see it a couple of times, and become more familiar with the different structures that different species have, it will become much easier for you to spot.
