It is not used to bypass the stock dowel area oil passage, but rather augment the originals flow for less pressure drop on the way to the front stationary gear bearing and thus the front rotor bearing.
Put an adapter between the rear side housing and the oil filter stand that has a passage from the oil filter return side.
Run a braided line from that to the front side housing.
Drill and tap the oil galley plugged off with a brass slug in the front side housing that leads to the front stationary gear bearing.
Search forum for oil mods for other ideas to improve the oil system.

My car is set up kind of weird. It was done by pineapple and I was wondering if I should change it. The oil cooler is plumbed from the oil galley in the front cover to the stock rear housing. Is it somehow better to use the front oil galley instead of the stock location in the front housing?

Yes, it bypasses a potential failure point in the o-ring joint between the front cover and front iron. That joint can open up (front cover flexing) and the o-ring can get out and cause a catastrophic loss of oil pressure, leading to a dead motor. It's also just a straight shot from the pump to the cooler line doing it that way for less pressure loss through the system. That is not the loop line though.
