My 2011 looks nothing like that and is changed in the engine bay.
The arrow should point toward the cleaner side of the old ones you took out.

edited: This is the recalculation filter I assume. I didn't know there were 2 difference filter systems. not sure on arrow direction, I would put in the same direction they came out. Were they very dirty? I need to check mine now....
