Default Mixed Nuts

As I was reassembling my rear suspension to the frame, I mixed up some nuts and hoped somebody could tell me which one goes where.

I know this is pretty minor, but I'd like the car to at least appear somewhat correctly...

The nuts are both 1/2-20. One is 9/16" long and the other a bit longer at 11/16".

Which one goes on the rear inner strut rod cam bolt and which one holds the lower end of the rear shock onto the shock mount???

They might both be the same length (with my car having previously having incorrect ones installed), but they have different part numbers.

I can't tell from the AIM and I couldn't find the info in the parts catalog I have.

Thanks

The ones that hold the shock are the really long
