Default rear strut clocking advice

Ok... so I made a dumb mistake... I didn't mark my struts when I tore them apart. Got too drunk

I realize that the strut mount sits higher where the coil ends at the top and I'm only guessing that should go towards the front? Since it looks like that's the higher part from the trunk.

Does anyone have any advice so I can be sure? A picture of the rear struts installed so I can see where the coil is supposed to seat when installed? If i can find a picture of where each side sits at the bottom i should be able to compress and spin to match. Or a simple the coil should sit at x o clock at the bottom would suffice. At this point it would just be a quick adjustment... thanks

Lol I'm pretty sure I'm over thinking this lol. Does it even matter? As long as it bolts up and seated internally correctly won't the coil rotate and seat wherever the **** it wants? Lol I'm an amateur mechanic I'm sorry. First time installing non ready mount struts and learning lessons the only way I know how... the hard way lol.

Have you attempted to look at JTIS or the Workshop Manual? The procedure is outlined in both.

I've attempted to get the jtis working a few times with no luck I'll probably end up putting it on a virtual machine... I fixed my problem though thanks
