Excellent observation.

I would place the surface of the nut on the RIGHT side against the part or surface it is mating.
Same with the washer on the RIGHT side.

Also, only turn the part with the WASHER on it. If the nut has the washer, turn the nut.
If the bolt has the washer, turn the bolt.

The exception is when loosening because some of the jolts and some of the nuts have serrated faces designed to not rotate and back out. Turn the opposite side or you'll grind out the frame or part you're trying to save.

I'm still a little unsure from your description, but I do understand what to turn vs. what not to turn.

Here's what I gathered. This is for the drivers side. Orientation would be mirrored for the passenger side. Am I thinking about it correctly?

Turn around both the washer and the nut in your example.
