power steering question

I changed the two lines going to the power steering cooler.
My question is I had to cut them out with a dremel and forgot which went where. I put the bottom cooler line to the Steering Gear Box and the other to the filler. Was that where it belongs? Or does it even matter?

I have steering just want to make sure.

With a single pass cooler, fluid goes in one side,gets cooled and comes out the other. It shouldn't really matter which direction the fluid flows as long as there isn't a check valve to prevent reverse flow.
