are my power slot slotted rotors on backwards

this is a stupid question. but i posted a pic my brakes on my facebook and 2 people told me they were on backwards ( rotor on driver side had to go to passnger side and vise versa)
i took the left rotor out of the left box and right out of the right.
my friend said they are on correct. and the picture matches the instructions.
so heres a pic of the driver front. and the instructions that came with the rotors

if the instructions said to put them on the way you put them on.... you put them on right. different companies have them setup different ways. i expected my r1 rotors to be mounted this way, but they could be mounted either way.

The trailing edge of the slot should hit the capilper pads first when rotated. Looks right to me.

I think I put mine on backwards now that I think about it. LoL.

knew it! after looking at the instructions i knew the 2 people who posted on my picture (members on here) were wrong. i just wasnt sure because i knew they were on the correct way. my friend said the same thing. took the left rotor out of the box labeled L so was the rotor. and the right outta the box labled right

never said that.
just wanted to correct the two people who said they were on wrong by verifying again on here. after looking on the instructions last night seeing they matched i knew they were on right just wanted to double check

I bought them used 18s too for 35o locally and liked them a lot! The other rims look good too but the Drift ones look better

It doesn't make 2 ***** worth of difference, since you have straight vanes. Put them on whatever way.
