Intake boots swapped?

I did my throttle body cleaning about 2 weeks ago. Noticed that the intake boot with a small nipple thingy had a crack in the nipple. where the thin plastic tube is inserted - drivers side. The other side seems fine. So I'm ordering the part and looking at the parts diagram from PP it seems like mine is on the wrong side?

The attached picture with item 10 in red shows the boot towards the rear of the car where the TB connects. But, in my car both those boots are towards the front (where item 28 is in the pic). I know I didn't swap them because I did not remove them from the manifold.



Is this how it should be? Am I to correct this? Can someone with a 2000 S 3.2 Egas please check and confirm?

I replaced o2 sensors and am getting fails on my Ready status (secondary air intake) and also P0507 now. Did a test drive and it seems to be on high idle (1100 rpm) when I come to a stop and then slowly reduces to around 7-800.

Thanks,
