1. Power Header

The short pins should be pointing through to the top-side of the PCB, while
the plastic and longer side of the pins should be visible on the back of the
PCB.
The side of the PCB with the red stripe notated is the bottom side of the
PCB.
The holes for the power header are offset slightly in both positions so that
once inserted, the power header will stay in position while you solder it.
