It's actually pretty flexible in how you put it together, but the way it was probably "intended" to be put together is like this:

The longer of the two rails is the driver's side. Underneath you can see 5 bungs. The one by itself has two tapped screwholes on either side of it. That's where the regulator attaches. It can go both ways. I guess most people face the return line out, but I'm planning to face it inward so the adjuster screw faces outward making for easy adjustment. The return line I'll just use a 120° or 180° fitting. Looking at pics of Doug Flynn's installation, he had the return line side of the regulator facing out

The two squarish 90° adapters thread into the front with the pointy end facing down. The short piece of hard line screws into and connects those two adapters and fits snugly behind the thermostat housing. The 90° adapter with the extra hole goes on the passenger side. The test valve (valvestem looking thing) threads into that extra hole.

The AFPR pushes into that bung, and the two aluminum bushings go between the bracket and the fuel rail, then the two one inch screws hold the whole thing together.

Just thought I'd elaborate a little bit in case you were confused.

Just slapped it together. i take it the 2 nipples are for the fuel line depending on which route you take and the one inline male to male is for that also. right?

Thaaat's my guess. Personally I wouldn't use those barbed fittings, but that's because I simply prefer the clean look of threaded fittings. Supposedly, though, they [the barbed fittings] can easily hold up under the pressures they'll be subjected to.

I'm replacing most of the supplied fittings with ones from Aeroquip. I'm also plumbing it all in SS braided hose.
