Re: correct way to install the AMS
Welcome to the forum, Dtaylor.
I invite you to tell us a bit about yourself by creating a "signature" with will attach itself to all your posts. (Signature automatically updates on all past posts each time you change it.)
I expect that one installation pictured is penoscrotal installation (the surgeon uses an incision in the scrotum for access to your insides) and the other is infrapubic (the surgeon uses an incision just above the penis for access to your insides). (Or is it suprapubic - I have seen it named both ways.)
Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages.

Re: correct way to install the AMS
In my opinion,
Pic 1.1 is for penoscrotal installation and pic 1.2 is for suprapubic approach.
