Brake Pad Question/Confirmation

I've just done the front pads on the wife's '08 Sa and want to make sure I got the pads right. Mine came packaged with both "like" pads packaged together. One set has a hump on them which is for the wear sensor. The other doesn't. Since there is only one sensor on the front, should both of the ones with the hump go on the driver's side or are the ones with the humps supposed to be the inner pad on each side?

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks

Figured it out. There is an inner and outer pad. The ones with the wear sensor "hump" go on the inside.

^^I've seen cars come into the shop with the inboard pads both on the passenger side and the brake sensor glued to the drivers side (wrong) inboard pad.

Belle Tire brake job FTW!!

Yep , just for a visual. Hump version are those back pads of the front set.
