Obviously I am not as smart as I thought!

I just got my Mikes Arcade edge connector to hook up my DK3 board! However, I can't figure out how to orientate the little connectors!! It seems like the monitor cable has to go UPSIDE DOWN compared to how it is on the DKJR PCB, so do I make all the connections upside down? Because the fingers pointing upward would seem to make sense, and it would seem to make sense that the connections would face the same way, but then the monitor part would be upside down.....very confused! Please help! Send the calvary!
 
Here is a photo of mine (4board DK shouldnt matter).

The "white" plug is the monitor, the plug should only go on one way. There is a notch that matches the plug.

But it should give you a good idea of how to attach it.. I know a dusty mess.. LOL

Thank you so much for these photos! The next question is which way does it orientate on the DK3 board. I'm guessing the side with the wires goes towards the front of the cab?

If you look at the adapter is says "Parts Side" this will plugin to the DK3 matches the parts side.

If that makes any sense.. :)
