question connecting header leads on asrock motherboard

these are the same leads as on my earlier build with an ASUS mobo, so i assume this is pretty standard configuration. Difference, my earlier build, a single plug covered all 9 pins

question on assembling the computer. I'm really electrically "literate", but connecting one of the headers, as asrock refers to it, the manual leaves a little to be desired, that and the leads from the case are not on one plastic plug but a bunch of small ones

the lead or plug for the reset button, is a two socket plug with female receptacles, and it can actually mount 4 different ways - see photo below, with the sockets in the plug oriented north/south and the lettering on the plug body facing to the east or to the west

Then again, with the sockets oriented east/west, and with the lettering on the plug oriented north or oriented south

i have a suspicion it probably doesn't make a difference as this is nothing more than a jumper closing the circuit for the reset, but just wanted to make sure

Solution
The PWR and RST leads are momentary contact switches. They are not polarity sensitive so you can plug them, along with the ground in any way.

The PLED and HDLED are polarity sensitive.
The leads should be identified as + or -.
Not to worry if you connect them reversed, the led will simply not light and you can just reverse them.
