I generally look at a fully assembled waterboxer engine when I'm putting
fuel hoses back on an engine.
on the right side ..on top of the intake runners seems normal.

I just looked at a stock pretty original engine..
the hoses for the forward cylinders, 1 & 3 ...go on top of the intake
runners to the fuel pressure regulatorup top there.
the hoses for the aft two cylinders, 2 & 4 ..
from the triple T by the distributor ..
they go sorta "under and around" ..  that is stock/original.
like behind the alternator on the right side ..and around the PS bracket
if there is one.
behind the AC mounting bracket on the left side, if there is one.
