looking at a mod but cant determine orientation of the series cap resistors. Which one of the two makes more sense?

Makes no difference.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

If you're going to place a switch across the series-10kΩ, then the drawing on the right has a slight edge for pop-reduction.
