Default Adjustable Highway footpeg kit question

The kit I got didn't come with instructions. I've figured out everything except for the different size black spacers (2 short, 2 long).
I assume the spacers go in-between the mount and the frame. Do the shorter ones go on the rear bolt? Or is it vice versa? Just by eyeballing it, I'd say the short one's go on the back but I wanna make sure.

They should put instructions with those things shouldn't they, I can't remember at the moment <duh> but I had to put the longer on either the right side to clear the pipes or on the left side to clear the case and all. Lol, I think I put the on the right side, but whichever I did it turned out nicely and I like them a lot, just gotta paint them black now, I've been too lazy to take them back off and get it down, Oh well, maybe next week, I'm gonna be too busy ridin all day tommorrow

The two long ones goes on the right side and the two short ones goes on the left..
The long ones are so the foot peg can clear the mufflers
