Looks like on these L67 head-gaskets the arrow faces the wrong way? Can anyone confirm?

Looks like on these L67 head-gaskets the arrow faces the wrong way? Can anyone confirm?
See, the problem with that is that the heads are on. When I put it together like that it seemed right, and someone else online, over at pennock's says "I've read I should have bought l36 gaskets just because the arrow on the gasket is facing the wrong direction." in reference to Cometic's L67 gaskets.
See, that's USUALLY the case, but they just didn't look right like that, and like I said this guy over at Pennock's said they're supposedly stamped wrong as well.
I don't ****ing know, but I want to figure this out before I rip it apart again to flip the damn things over.
Did all the coolant passages line up? I remember it being obvious if they were backwards. Pretty sure when I did mine they do hang over to the exhaust side quite a bit.

Can't get photos on this forum for reason? Any how click the link above to see the normal overhang of the Cometic head gasket. Mine are copper color because I sprayed them with copper spray.

Put cometics on from intense. They are labeled left and right and have arrows towards the pulleys. The water passage holes are different left to right for proper water flow through the block.
Well.. they didn't seem right like that, but I guess this means I have to pull them and flip them over now.
Wait, the one marked L goes on the left, yes?
Left is by front bumper with arrow pointing to water pump.
IIRC one of the gaskets will have the arrow facing the wrong direction. I know guys (including me) usually just opt for the L26/36 because the tend to be cheaper and are marked correctly and the same thickness etc
Who's are marked wrong? Zzp and Intense don't sell the same thickness Cometic gaskets and I have never heard they were marked wrong before.
He already has a set installed front to back!
