Default Rear Brake Lines... Help!

Ok, here's the problem. basically, I was dumb and frustrated and didn't think ahaha.

I removed the back brake assembly from the disc to service it, clean it and all that. I removed both brake lines from the assembly and didn't take note of which one goes where! DUH!!!

I tried googling a pic of it but had no luck. One of the lines has a 90 degree bend in it and the other has a more gradual, say 45 degree, bend in it. Which one goes where?

To keep things the same, say we are looking at it from a side view. One of the holes is higher than the other. Which hose goes to the highest hole?

Please post. Thanks!

Thanks itch. Appreciate it!

Just wondering now, does it matter? A usual brake system there would only be one line running to it because it is only operated from one point. because Polaris has the auxilary brake on the foot board for the rear brake, it has 2. Obviously, they are both going to do the same thing; operate the brake! One line from the primary brake lever and one from the aux. Just curious. Anyone played around with this?
