2001 Malibu Power Steering Gear

I have a 2001 Chevy Malibu that I am replacing the transmission on. One of the steps was to disconnect the power steering pressure and return lines so that I can lower the sub frame. Now that the transmission has been replaced I am raising the sub frame back in to place and need to reconnect the power steering lines. My problem is, I don't know which line goes into which port of the power steering gear. I have held both of the lines up to both of the ports and it is not clear to me which goes where. My Haynes manual does not say and Google is not helping me either.

Of the two lines, one has a bend about one and a half inches from the connector. The other has a bend three inches from the connector.

On the power steering gear one port is close to the top where the steering fork attaches. The other is lower and pointed a little more towards the rear of the car.

Here is a diagram I found. There are two holes in the steering gear (5) where hoses (3) and (4) connect. I just need to know which goes in which hole.

I figured out that the return line (3) is on top.
