Tiller Crossbar Re-install

Hi
This my first time re-assembling my Getaway after two months of use and then storing it for a month. There is no label on the tiller crossbar for starboard or port. Does it make a difference(qm). how to tell which side is right; angle of the extension bracket hole(qm).

Also, there are no instructions in the manual for de-stepping the mast. Is it the reverse of the stepping instruction(qm). Do you rotate the mast as you step back(qm).

Thanks
