When I was taking the upper intake manifold off I made the mistake of NOT taking photos to show what went where. There are two coolant hoses that go from the upper intake manifold to a coolant pipe that runs next to the fuel injectors on the passenger side of the engine... which hose goes where?

I even bought the factory repair manual from allservicemanuals.com with the schematics, but I can't find in the schematics and the diagrams do not show the detail of where each hose hooks up, and how to configure them... so now I'm at a Real loss figuring out how to reconnect and reinstall the engine and hoses correctly.

the hoses marked in red are coolant hoses that I'm trying to figure out where they go

Thank you in advance, Sincerely
