Sierra brake drum pictures

I'm rebuilding my rear brakes & can't remember which hole the plastic plunger goes in. Is it the one with the bush welded in or the one one the other side?
Should've taken some pics but thought the haynes manual would be good enough. Any links?

By the way what does plastic plunger do?

The plastic plunger goes in so that it can make contact with the handbrake lever on the trailing shoe that has the handbrake cable connect onto it. The idea of it is so that you can check adjustment and wear of the brake shoes by pushing it in to touch the lever.

Hope this helps.
