ATF Cooling Line Help

Hi Everyone - First post here.

Mice love the cooling lines for the automatic transmission fluid on my 2009 V6 4W. I've replaced them once before, but this time, I was an idiot and removed both the hoses on the radiator side. As a result, I'm guessing which hose goes to which line.

I'm running them "inside to inside" right now, meaning the inside line coming off the engine side goes to the inside line on the radiator side (right in pic below). Outside goes to outside (left in pic below). In other words, they don't cross each other as they make the jump from the hard lines at the side of the engine to the hard lines at the radiator (front bumper) side. Do I have this right? Also, I taped them in a probably futile attempt to keep from having to do this a third time. Thanks!

Good idea, 127. Any thoughts on the routing of ATF cooling lines?
