Default Stupid question - where does the long bolt go on the motor mount??

So I took the engine apart for a rebuild and am putting it back together now and ran across an issue with the motor mount. 454 Mag Gen IV in a 89 baja 280 sport. I took the mounts off and actually noted where the longer bolt went in the 3 bolt triangle pattern went on a piece of paper, put the paper in the bag and it is now oil covered so I can't read it. So - I have two short bolts on each side (one side has a short studded bolt with the nut that I think goes on the Starboard side for the starter/battery cable) and one long bolt and I am not 100% sure where the long bolt goes. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

the longer of the 3 goes through the oil cooler mounting tab..port sid lower bolt i think,,your going to have to position the oil cooler to where it fits best..
