Thank you for your answer Dodge.
Well, the vent holes are pointed towards the shock tower(s). I can understand the confusion, because it seems like there's this shiny ring on the outside of the top eyelet. It actually is a mark of a shim/spacer I used to pop the pivot in the eyelet (like the manual is pointing out). The bottom eyelet has the shiny side pointed outward, as you can see.
So the shiny side of the eyelet is pointing towards shock tower, as wel as the vent hole...
