Front disk brake guide pins location [solved]

This is a 2009 stock 4 door Sedan 1.8L car. I think the last time the front rotors and ceramic pads were don they may have switched the "guide pins". pin A for Pin B. When they were lubed up. One pin has flat sides and is very specific as to location. QUESTION: Flat sided guide pin goes top or bottom?? I see mixed guidance

COlin42, using your suggestion I went to(Honda parts now) plugged in my Vin and got the answer. WIth this particular Vin the Guide pin with the flat sides goes on the bottom, called pin A. Pin B as they call it goes in the top. PIn also has a grove. Very important to get them in the correct location.
