TOYOTA 7BDRU15 DRIVE UNIT OIL FILL PLUG

Hello. Can someone let me know if the drain plug on the cover of the drive unit of this truck should be at the bottom, at the center towards either side or at the top? I need to know in order to fill correctly with gear oil. The drain plug is now at the bottom, but perhaps someone messed with it and now we are not able to fill with oil again because it drains back out. If this is the correct place, please let me know were the fill plug is located.
Thanks,
OB1

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
