Little help with wheel spacers please

98 Heritage Softail
This is a total idiot move, but my axle spacers were set on a desk when I removed my wheels to get new tires.
They were moved and now I’m not sure what goes where.
The manual isn’t much help on what size is which.

the “dog dish” is 13/16”
the taller spacer(top left with 3 rings) measures 1-11/32”
the shorter spacer (top right with 2 rings) measures 1-7/32”
the two shortest spacers (bottom) measure the same at 47/64” they have no distinguishing marks

Any chance one of you who are smarter than me can help figure out what order these are installed?
Front right to left?
Rear right to left?

I know the beveled edges go inward to the bearing, flat side out.

I’m not sure front/rear or left/right.

I’d start with the front axel, try a set and see which ones line the wheel correctly under the fender and allow the brake caliper to line up with the rotor. Then you’re down to two and do the same on the rear wheel.
