Default 95 civic si d16z6

I have looked everywhere on the internet trying to find the correct spark plug tube seal orientation and have not had any luck. Does anyone have any pics of the correct way because I can't seem to find any. Thank you

If you were looking at the installed head cover in the engine bay, the side of the seal shown below would be up.

This will also become apparent when you remove the head cover and inspect the old tube seals.

When I took the old tube seals off I didn't pay attention to how they were oriented and then I forgot how they go back in lol so with the valve cover off and upside down the side in the picture would be face down?

Alright thanks. I was seeing a bunch of pics showing that the bottom picture was the correct way to install them

As a general rule of thumb, the concave side of an oil seal faces the oil source.
