I have seen staples put in tabs bent wheel side and engine side. Which is the correct way or is there one?

Hmmm... I know the mudflap and frame seal are correct but there were no remnants of the splash seals to check. I have a 68 which still has portions of the originals in place but it's away in storage.

Your staples are backwards. Bent tab of the staples should be inside of the wheel well or engine compartment side. I have two original Novas and both have the staple tabs bent over on the inside. The bottom flap is correct.
