Your hydroboost is installed "upside down" from normal stock installation but it doesn't matter to the hydroboost. Some people like the hoses pointing down and it doesn't affect the operation. I have attached a picture of the ports for you to check that the valve has the pressure and return hoses hooked up correctly. Remember that your system is "upside down" so these ports will be on the bottom, but it should be enough for you to trace them to their connection at the other end (pump pressure, steering gear and return).
