GSL-SE Oil Cooler Hose Routing

On a GSL-SE, does the front cover oil cooler hose go to the top bung on the cooler, and the rear iron hose go to the bottom bung?

I'm working on an S5 swap in my GSL-SE and the 2nd gen guys told me it's backwards, but the hoses don't seem to reach the opposite way (with the front cover hose going to the bottom bung). I just want to double check, it's been nearly 2 years since I had this car put together and I just don't remember.

Always want the engine outlet (front cover) on the top and the engine inlet (rear iron) on the bottom.

Thanks, this helps my sanity in this project. Somehow there isn't a GSL-SE oil diagram or a complete picture of the cooler + engine anywhere to be found on this forum so I appreciate the confirmation
