Default Fuel clps on filter

Changing fuel filter on my Five Hundred. Original clips broken and have new ones. Not sure of the orientation on these. Any help?

Make sure the lines are all the way on the filter, and the purpose of the clips is to keep the lines from coming off
Just push them on so they are easy to remove next time.

Does the longer side of the top face the filter or away from filter?

Try one way and if it fits , that is the way. If it doesn't fit right , go the other way.
