Fans mounted correctly?

Installed a Thermalright Silver Arrow, Im trying to determine if I have the fans correctly mounted.

My PC:

Outside Pc= [ Exhaust Fan ] [ Heatsink Fin ] Fan 1 -> [ Heatsink Fin ] Fan 2->

I just followed the instructions but Im thinking I should have mounted the fans so the arrows were pointing the other way to exhaust the air out ?

most fans come with pointing arrows on a side of the body to indicated airflow direction

generally fans should exhaust out the back if air is drawn from the front, or out the top should the air be drawn from the bottom

You want air being pushed from the front of the case to the back so fan arrows need to be pointing to rear fan really.
