Default F3 coolant hoses. Need help

Hey everyone, first time posting Here. So I picked up a basket case of a bike, everything is torn apart but it's all there, my problem is I can't figure out the coolant lines under the carbs and the reservoirs' hoses. I got the right side head coolant line attach to the bottom of the water pump, left side not sure where it goes. There is the line that comes from where the thermostat is at and goes down the the starter and is bolted down, not sure where to go from there. I saw that the carbs have water lines from the diagram but I don't see where they go. Not sure how the reservoir hooks in.

If someone could help me out, either give me a picture with a clearer diagram then the manual or explain where they all go that would be amazing.

When searching the manual, look for 2 terms.
1. Carburetor heater tube. Searching this term will show how, starting at the water pump these connect. It will also show you how they are connected at the carb.
2. Thermo tubes. This is where it connects, coming out of the carbs and back into the head.
If you look for those two things, you should be good to go.

ok so I looked at those and they definitely helped but I'm still in need of some help.

1: Looked up the thermo valve but it didn't say where the hose go after they are connected to the valve itself.

2: I looked up the carb heater tubes and one goes to the valve, the other goes to the water pump, does it matter which gets plug in where? Like should the water pump on go to the left or right nipple on the carb?

I still have my cylinder head's 2 nipple that need connected, the reservoir and the side of thermo valve that doesn't go to the carb.
