Hey Ron,

It looks like there are three holes that get enlarged on page 26-11, off the right center. So if you had it upside down, that would be on the left. I think that would help.

The overall skin is symmetrical, but it does have a few holes offset from the center line (as already mentioned by Stoney), that should be positioned to the right side of the fuselage.
They can be seen near the center of the skin on pages 26-06 and 26-11.

A future plans update will include a note to be sure and orient the skin as shown.
