Headlight springs

Just reassembling my headlight buckets.How many springs are supposed to be in there? I have 2 for each side but there are 3 holes.Also I may have them mixed up.Depending on the adjuster location there is one at the top and one at the side.Depending what side you put the bucket in the side adjuster will be towards the middle of the truck or the outside.Anyone no which side is which?

I have a set of NOS and the two springs go from the two closer holes on the back to the holes on the bulb holder opposite the adjusting screws. The hole not used is between the adjusting screws. My buckets are the same. The factory parts book calls out two of each of the parts. I also looked at the openings on my grill and both are identical not mirrored images. Hope this helps.
