Default Might mouse catch can nnbs

Hey guys. Got a might mouse catch can off a member from this site. I have it installed on my truck as we speak but I have a question as to if I have it hooked up. Right now teuck is Na and ls6 cam and 243 heads 5.3 with aluminum after market valve covers. They have 8an bungs welded for the pvc. I emailed Mighty Mouse and I think I have it hooked up right but he confused me. But just want to make sure I’m actually doing it right. So I have the passenger side valve cover(dirty side??) going to my intake tube prior to the throttle body. Like factory had it. Then I have the driver side valve cover(clean side??) going to the “in” big nipple of the catch can. It’s just barb fitting on the catch can so I have rubber hose and clamps holding it on. And then the small 3/8 nipple out of the can going into the intake manifold post throttle body to get the clean air sucked out. Does this seem right? Just want clarification as to what side goes where so I’m not letting dirty air into the intake and have the catch cam basically doing nothing. Some people just run both sides straight to catch can but was told not to do that and that’s for mainly boosted set ups which eventually this will be. Here’s a picture best I can explain it. Any help would be cool. Thanks guys

Big hose comes straight from driver side cover and then 3/8 little hose goes to intake post throttle body.

The catch can should do on the dirty side between the PCV valve and intake manifold. The PCV valve is either on the drivers rear valve cover (most trucks) or valley cover (new LS cars). The clean side can be left stock, throttle tube to after MAF to passenger front valve cover port.
