General discussion • P4 Kit Heatsink Orientation Question

I am new to Raspberry Pi. I recently bought a P4 kit to be used to wirelessly connect to my 3d printer. The kit comes with 3 heatsinks, and with a housing and a fan. 2 of the devices that need heatsinks are square, and 1 device is rectangular. There's only one way to orient the heatsink on the rectangular device. The square devices could have the fins oriented 2 ways with fin directions differing by 90 degrees. Is there a preferred way to orient the heatsinks fins for the square heatsinks? The kits is: https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-4- ... r-kit.html

Thanks,
Jim
