solenoid wiring

So I had labelled the wires with masking tape when I pulled off all the wires but the writing faded since summer when I did it (water based marker). I think I've got it right but I want to double check the large terminals. + battery cable and all others go on one side and the cable to the starter on the other side by itself, right. Doesn't matter which side?

Wire the closest side to the battery to the battery and the other side to the starter. Electrically it doesn't matter.

I didn't read your post correctly the first time, you're right.
