Default Arias piston rings

Hi Guys. I am starting my assembly with my b20 sub-assembly. I am having a problem identifying which way should my rings face.
the one has a yellow mark on it and the other one has a red and a yellow mark on it. and both of them has a very small dot on the one-side of the ring.

What i want too know is which one is my top compression ring and which one is my second compression ring and which side is top and which side is bottom?

thanks for the info in advance.

The dot faces up and the thinner ring goes on top or compress the ring together with your fingers (close the gap) and the one that is harder to close is the upper ring.

Another way to tell the difference is...the lower ring will have a groove on the bottom when the dot is facing up.
