Default Head holding gyro

I've read the instructions that came with my head holding gyro but don't quite understand what they want.I've got the belt cp.
I took out the old one and it had one three wire plug ,and the new one has one the wire plug and one one wire plug.it says to plug it into the left and right slot. is that the two emty ones that are left?I don't want to make a mistake as the last one cost me over 5o.oo
thanks Ken

The 3-wire lead goes into channel 4, and the one-wire lead goes into channel 5, if this is the stock receiver.

It is gyro EK2-0704A.And that is exactly what I needed to know.
Also does it make any difference which way it is supposed to face?

I always mounted mine with the label facing the tail and upright/readable. That was with a non-reverse direction servo, so I don't know which way to face it with an HS55.

You could probably flip the servo arm so that the link attaches at the bottom rather than the top. That's what I did with my JR S185 reverse servo, and it's been working fine.
