GS1000G Carb Boot Question

[FormerBMWguy]

Okay, I hate to reopen this can of worms, but can someone definitively say which way the carb boots on the GS1000G are oriented? I'm working on a GS1000 and the previous owner removed the carbs and boots to replace the boots, but never got to it. I have new boots, but I'm not sure which way they go on. Since they're angled, they have an offset "thick" side and a "thin" side. If I mount them with the thick side more or less down, the port orientation would be the straightest, but the air cleaner box is hell to fit. If I orient them with the "thin" side down, the air cleaner box fits better, but the angle of the carbs is quite pronounced. Can someone with a GS1000G check theirs and give me the scoop?

There should be two lefts and two rights. They should be marked L or R.

This is the boot from a GS850, but it's the same idea (the 850 boots have sync ports, but not the 1K) The marking goes on top:
