Default how does the oil dipstick go back on?

I've just installed headers on my car. I've had to pull out the oil dipstick, but now that I have to put it back I can't remember between which of the 4 tubes it's supposed to go near the flange. Could someone please check on their car?

The dipstick tube goes between the number 4 and 6 primaries on the header. There is a threaded hole for the 15mm bolt to attach it to the head. If you wanna look for yourself, I just completed my header install yesterday and have a video. Take a look.
