Carb Holder position?

Well, I am trying to put my bike back together and It feels like everything is just so much more work than it should be. My most recent problem is how the intake manifolds go on, I can figure it out, I have put them on so many different ways, either the carbs are tilted up and the airboxes won't go on or the manifolds are to far apart and the carbs won't go on. Can someone let me know? Thanks for listening to me whine.

The carbs should have little locating lugs in the top most position that run parallel with the slides, the carb intake rubbers should have reciprocating moldings for those lugs. They of course point to twelve O'Clock and the rubbers are handed to rise up and be square. If that makes any sense.

maybe switched side to side?
