RAM slot population on a G5 5000

Dell G5 5000

Dell G5 5000

OEM RAM was a 16GB stick that was in the 2nd slot.  I have replaced it a with a 32GB stick.  I have another 32GB on the way to run dual channel.  I am not sure if I should use the 2nd and 4th slots or use the 1st and 3rd.  I always thought the first RAM installed should be nearest the CPU, so not sure what to do here.

Generally the slots with the white tabs are first to be populated followed by the other 2 slots with black tabs. This YouTube video may help.
