Finally getting around to installing my glass again and found that the glass is catching on my door lock actuator. I’ve never had this all together at the same time so this is the first time I’m seeing this. I’m thinking I put the actuators on the wrong side and they should be flipped 180 degrees but i wanting confirmation before pulling it all apart. Any photos of installed actuators would be appreciated as well. At this point the window won’t roll all the way down and catches on the motor. Attached are photos of where it’s catching on the motor and how much of the window is still up. Thanks for the help in advanced.

You've probably gotten it working by now, but I'll answer anyway.
I just added power windows and door locks to my '78. See posts dated 4-19, and 4-23 in "What have you done to your Gbody today"
This photo is the driver side actuator. Notice the direction of the bracket flange and electrical connector pointing forward.
It is almost impossible to install the bolts when reassembling because it is very difficult to get your hands/fingers in behind to hold them when tightening.
What I did to hold the 1/4x20 by 1/2inch bolts that I used, was to insert the bolt and use duct tape to keep it from falling out.
Just trim the extra tape off so that it does not get in the way while trying to tighten the bolts by feel, you can look straight down through the window slot to see the upper, but it's pretty much by feel for the bottom.
