Default Quick radiator question. Need answer asap

hey guys. just swapped a new radiator into my 01 SS since i somehow cracked the OEM one. Everything went pretty smooth until hooking all my lines back up. there are 2 small diameter hoses on the passenger side that go by the filler cap on the radiator. one is slightly bigger than the other. can someone take a pic or tell me which one goes to which port? I'm at a loss and i wanna button this up. Thanks in advance,
Adam

The larger one probably goes to the Coolant Recovery Jug under the battery, which should connect at the Cap opening on the back. And the Smaller one probably comes over from under the Throttle Body . Which connects to the fitting sticking out of the tank below the cap
