Hi all, does anyone know what the correct factory position of the rear AHC sensors to be?

Basically what happened is that the mount that the sensor was on had corroded and broken off, thus one side was not functioning properly and AHC didn't know which height to ride level... My mechanic welded it back on in the correct spot (the exact position it used to be in) but while doing that, the little dogbone piece (left link height sensor rod) broke in half... Thus I had to order a new one (photo for reference).

Anyway, upon re-installing the new one, I set it as close to the center of the sweep (equal amount of space above and below it), and noticed the right side was actually positioned right to the top (which from previous inspection earlier I had noticed it was more in the center). In any case, I adjusted it back to the center to ensure left/right are congruent.

Is that the correct positioning for them? Or should they be more biased up or down at all (factory settings?) I have a 2008 LX570

It now works as designed (properly) and seems to level out normally (auto step down/low/high) settings all are functioning what appears to be normally.

Thanks all!

Just wondering if anyone knows if the centre position (nut/bolt right in the mid section of the opening) is the correct factory spot? I didn't under the vehicle earlier so not 100% sure I put it in the right spot.

Secondary question: For those of you that use the factory sensor lift - did you move the sensors UP, or DOWN (I'm assuming up?) to the highest position? Or is the opposite (lowest position)?
 
See this video from @NKP Garage for lifting instructions.

At the 8:18. mark he says for the rear to slide it "all the way up" yet the video shows it in the down position. I'm even more confused now lol :(
