thanks in advance,jim
Think about what you want it to do. Besides reducing the recoil, it would also be nice to reduce the muzzle rise a little. Think Newton: "Opposite but equal reaction". If the 3 smaller round ports face down, they act like little rocket engines pushing the muzzle up as some of the blast gas is diverted downward. If you place them facing up, that diverted gas pushes the muzzle downward, reducing muzzle rise.
