There is a socket that was left on the bolt head.

Most if not all monotubes the orientation doesn't matter unless the mfg specifies. Bilstein can be either body up or down and I am pretty sure Fox is the same. Twin tubes or plain hydraulic shocks go body down.

They can only mount one way as shipped from Fox. You have them in correctly.

Its a stem - and - eyelet shock, so it can only go one way.

Meaning the stem will be at the top, and the eyelet with the bar-pin will be at the bottom. The orientation looks good to me!

Maybe it's just the picture but your upper control arms look way too short for the lower ones...
