Normally you want the oil feed at the 4:00 location. That's an SAE standard for where you want the oil wedge to support the camshaft in the journal. With the bearing being grooved on the back, the oil will travel around the bearing and will oil wherever there's a hole. Not sure why they put 3 holes in the bearing, but in addition to the 4:00 position, it will oil in 2 more spots.
