Default Windshield quick release

I've got the HD quick release latches for the windshield. I installed them so the locking one is on the top left to make it easy to access but the lower latches have a leg that sits at the top of the lower tree.
In this position the windshield is high so the gap around the headlight is huge.
But if I swap it so the leg is on the top (allowing me to lower the windshield) this puts the locking latch on the bottom right, lock on the bottom and a real PITA to get at.
What's the correct position for the latches with the leg and the one (there's only one) with the lock?
