Default Question on Throttle Body rebuild and O-ring seals

Installing new seals in my throttle body with the rebuild kit provided by the PO (thank you). As I can't seem to find a documented procedure (anyone?), have a question.

There are o-rings seals at each end of the support bearing for the pivot arm for the plate. It looks like that on one side you install 2 o-rings and on the other side you install only 1 o-ring. This is based on a) the o-ring parts that came out and b) available room in the housing. (Sorry, can't remember which side has 2 vs. 1 at the moment). Of course, to confound things, the kit provides 4 o-rings.

Can anyone confirm if you are supposed to have 3 or 4 o-rings total installed?

Oh yes, reminder to me for next time: Take a pic of how the throttle springs attach to the lever arms and housing BEFORE you take humpty dumpty apart. Makes putting it back together so much easier.
