Those links are doing the same thing the stock ones would do. They are mounted in the same locations. What do you need to know about the stock links?

i have a pair of brand new Moog stock links. but i took the old ones out, and i do not know which way the new ones have to go in. i should have done it one at a time, but i took both of the old links out first, now i can't get the new ones to line up, and i can't get the stud on top to totally go through the hole on top. i have the correct part# parts, but the stud will not totally go through the hole, so i'm figuring i cannot figure it out because i do not know which way the "S" shape has to be.
they are like an "S" shape. the ones on your picture are straight. basically i need to know which way the "S" faces.

I had a feeling that was what you were going to ask. I had the same problem. You want the s to face so that the bottom bushing lines up nicely on the inside of the bottom mount. I put the bushing to the outside(made sense at the moment) and it rubbed the inside of the rim. Make sure you are parked on a flat even surface. Put the top of the link through the hole in the sway bar, if the link doesn't naturally line up with the inside of the bottom mount it's the wrong side.

actually no, i cannot get the link to go through the hole on the top of the sway bar. its like the threaded part goes through, but the bottom part of the stud that is not threaded does not go through the hole on the sway bar. if i put a nut on the stud, it will start to "skin" the rest of the thread when i tighten the nut to "pull the rest of the stud through" by tightening the nut

That stud is tapered. It is not supposed to go completely through.

Oh. If you get the nut started on the top then instal the bottom bolt on both sides it should hold it enough to keep the stud from spinning. Just make tightening the top nuts the last step. On mine the sway bar held it up hard enough to keep it from spinning.
