Default Gear shift rod

Bought new chrome shifting rod and can't tell from instructions if the heim joints go on the inside or outside>>or one of each. Not much room on the front cylinder. Anyone put one on an 08? Thanks!

Is there a difference between each side ? (not each end). I just put one on and didn't even pay attention but everything works fine.
