All I could find in my saved folder, that has any detail. Hope it helps. The only clock angle you have not tried is 9.

Ok so looking at this diagram IMO shows the motor arms to be pointing at the dvrs side of the truck @ 9 o'clock. As far as 12, 3, 6, and 9 are basic clock angle directions. The 1st red box is a BACK side view of the second red box. IMO
