please help with thermostat housing pipes

Hi guys

Stupidly I disconnected the pipes without making notes, now I'm a bit confused especially with the two pipes coming from behind the firewall.

Looking at the thermo housing from the front does the pipe from the left firewall go to extreme left inlet?

Anyone with any pics will really appreciate it.

Thank you so much, that's a big help. Now if only I can figure out why the radiator fan is staying on and bottom hose staying cool. Changed the thermostat housing and new temp sensor and temperature seems stuck on 108c, I doubt it's the water pump but who knows. I get hot hair in car when I turn on heater. Pipes feel full showing I'm guessing it's pumping.
