Replacement part going in shortly. Is this the correct way round for flex hose?

Watched a front brake video from Just Kampers. They had the flex pipe other way round. So that will do.
Pushed on today despite feeling really tired after a sleepless night in this high humidity we are having in East Kent.

Please with end result. But forget any notion of a speedy swap for the hard pipe. It is impossible to whip it out and fit new without access to a lift and proper lighting. Too many obstacles. So the brake fluid leaked out at various spots while l banged about trying to pull out the old hard pipe and slot in new.

One new metal pipe on near side.
New flex pipes.
New discs.
New bearings.
Recon Girling calipers.
New pads.
Replaced worn dampers with good used units.
