FD Tokico Illumina Questions

I recently installed Tokico Illumina's all around with Tein Springs. I've convinced myself that I have placed the front, passenger shock the wrong way. Which way should the brake line flange/clip be facing? Toward the front bumper or the rear bumper?

On the other 3 shocks, the Tokico Illlumina sticker faces out...however with the sticker facing out on the left front, it places the brake line flange/clip pointed towards the rear bumper and I'm suspicious it should be the other way around.

Another question...when adjusting the shocks, the adjusting nut spins freely 360 and doesn't stop, correct? I expected it to stop moving when you hit 1 or 5 but this seems not to be the case. Is this correct behavior?

Thank you for any help.

I just took a quick look and my passenger side brake line flange is towards the front bumper. I don't know if the "sticker" orientation really matters. The front shocks have different part numbers for left and right, while the both rear shocks share the same part number:

Front: BU3465, BU3466
Rear: BU3467

Make sure your part numbers match up.
