should the 3 front intake fans be placed with the dust filter BEFORE the fans (in this order if looked at from the outside: case cover, dust filter, case rim, fan) or (case cover, fans, case rim, dust filter)? I’m just trying to find out if the case I bought was assembled correctly.
I will add that the total amount of fans is 3 in the front, 1 at the back and 1 below my gpu (exhaust i guess)?
Here’s a picture of it from the front:

Yes.
 
If you look at those fans, as shown in the picture, that's the 'pretty' side. Air goes in pretty and comes out ugly. In 99.9% of pc case fans, cooler fans, gpu fans etc. It's extremely rare for a fan to spin clockwise.

Airflow is all about bringing in fresh cool air and shoving out warmed air on the other end, so you can look at a fan and tell if it's intake or exhaust, regardless of where it is, but simply by where the air is going.
