But does it go right or left, back or forward in other rotations?

Seam goes down, as oriented to the motherboard. If the slots are vertical, usually to the right? If you have a rare, weird machine, just remember which way it goes. FFS, there are 2 choices.

EDIT: Having said all that, not sure I've seen a machine that orients the seam to the left. ?
