DSM- please don’t take this the wrong way, but it doesn’t appear that you have the knowledge or know how to complete this task as it should be done. I strongly suggest you put a stretch gauge on your rod bolts too, otherwise, you’re going to inadvertently vent your block.

Watch the video I linked in the second post, it answers your question. If you aren’t sure how you assembled them, remove the components and verify. If you didn’t number rod caps to rods, then it all has to come apart, so the rods can be machined to match each other.

Pull the shit back apart and put it on a stand. It’s far easier to check this way.
