Default Installing FX3 shocks / SRC module

Got my FX3 shocks back from Bilstein and I'm getting ready to install with new controller. Is there anything that I should know before putting them back on like does the shaft have to be in a particular position? Also got a new controller. Anything special there for the install? I read my Helms and it doesn't say anything but thought I would ask before having at it. Thanks.

shaft does not have to be in any special position. I am told that when you turn the car on the motors rotate the shafts to make sure they are in the position the switch asks for.

Make sure that the actuator sits properly on the top of the shock and the snap ring is in place. The actuator should sort of snap down and sit even.
