Which direction does the cable insert into this zif connector?

Apologies in advance if this is a really stupid question, but I’m trying to absolutely sure which direction the FPC cable goes into this zif connector:

I think the cable goes into the cavity on the light side, as labeled with the green arrow in this picture:

Looking into the product page and datasheet don’t have any definitive clues about how the cable goes into the connector imo… I am trying to position this footprint on a pcb I’m making and I want to be sure.

Hello Mike,
Thank you for posting on our TechForum and welcome to our community.
The connector terminals are on both sides so you can put the cable in either direction.

The cable does go into the white section you pointed out.
