Which strut goes on which side?

Sorry, I tried searching google and my350z but could not find an answer. Probably not using the correct terms but, I already swapped the springs and I left the struts next to each other and want to confirm before putting them on, how do I know which one goes on which side?

Just to be clear I only need to know about the fronts.

Thanks!

as a gut check use the brake line mounting stand as your indicator. And maybe even the wheel speed sensors cable holders.

Everything bolted up and lines went on, any other way to double check though? Just want to make sure I am not breaking anything.

as long as everything bolts on fine, and nothing binds as the wheel compresses and sweeps fully left to right... it really doesn't matter.

Typically, the ABS wire bracket points towards the front of the car though.
