Seam goes down, as oriented to the motherboard. If the slots are vertical, usually to the right? If you have a rare, weird machine, just remember which way it goes. FFS, there are 2 choices.
EDIT: Having said all that, not sure I’ve seen a machine that orients the seam to the left. ?
It kinda is keyed. Seam goes down.
Until they created upside down Jacks
But does it go right or left, back or forward in other rotations?

That’s true - I mean to make the keying more obvious. As it stands it’s all internal and difficult to see.
