Looks to me the weights need to go on the opposite way for C/W rotation. I usually just use the medium springs.

i agree, it looks like the weights are backwards.

Don't throw away your factory weights. Sometimes those weights in the kits are made kind of crappy.
I'm not saying the new ones won't work but keep your old ones just in case. At the very least clean off any burs or sharp edges with a fine file or some sandpaper.
