Icon5 1995 Accord EX: Help re-assembling distributor please

I have a 1995 Accord EX 4-cyl, and have removed and disassembled the distributor to replace the inner seal and O-ring to fix oil leaks. Mine is the model with the three magnets in it. I did take pics on my phone, but my phone crashed and had to restore from a previous backup which did NOT have the pics. You know what I mean? Doh!

I just need to know which magnet goes where. I can figure out where one goes, but the other two I can't. Any help is appreciated.

There is a very helpful YouTube video on fixing this generation (5th gen) Honda Accord distributor by Bushougoma (yes that's a real name) "Honda Distributor Oil Seal Replacement"

Yes I'm following that, but that's a non-EX model and has a different distributor; DX and LX models have TEC distributors, while EX had Hitachi. Though the actual inner seal and O-ring replacement process is the same, the distributor disassembly and reassembly process is different.

Well I had a 50/50 chance that I put the 2/3 magnets in the correct place, and I won! I got the distributor back on the car with a replaced inner seal and O-ring and voila, the car starts and runs, and so far no leaks.
