Question 6.0 rod question assembling engine

Ive got a set of 6.0 rods floating pins. Question is which side faces towards the front of engine like the indication dots on the oistons do. My ls1 rods have the flat surface where throd blots up gacing forward but thesr rods look the same at quick glance. There is a nipplie on the rods mid way up the shaft of the rod tho. Thanks for any help

The "tangs" all go toward the driver side of the block, with dots on pistons all facing forward if you're using all stock stuff.
