Main valve body issue

hello I’m posting, hoping someone has knowledge on the main valve body on an E4OD tranny, I removed the 4-3-2 timing plunger “accidentally” now I don’t know what way it goes back in? Generally it has the same shape one side has a small threaded hole the same way the valve body plug, that held the plunger in the hole has, you can even use the same 8mm bolt u use to pull the plugs out on this plunger. Any advice??? Threaded hole in or out ???

The threaded hole goes out. The purpose of the threaded hole is to pull out a stuck valve.

Thanks mr mark I re assembled the tranny today and it chirped threw all its gears I ended up having a stuck 2-3 valve ,I cleaned up the main valve body , I was getting concerned that the unit could of been burned . The oil that came out had black tar like residue , but no metal shavings. Hopefully I can still drive the truck enough to save up for a rebuild. Thanks for the advice!
