Axle orientation

I need help identifying the orientation of my axles on my -14.(tail dragger) If someone is building the 14 and have the installed wheels onthe main gear could take a picture of the right gear i would appreciate it. I have talked to Vans and they can’t tell me if I install the axels correctly. I think I reversed them putting the right if the left and vice vesra. A simple picture will belay my fears. Attached is a pic of my right wheel, it has a red arrow pointing to a rounded area of the axle attachment U-01421. My rounded area faces rear. If I Reversed it on the left it would face forward. I need to know if this is correct. I’m ready for my first engine start.

Tom----try this. Just happens to be a Beringer brake package, but the caliper is still on the aft side of the gear leg.
