You can put them on either way. With the grooves facing down and forwards is probably more common, and makes a little less noise. According to some fit them the other way they will be more aggressive and louder.
I don't think it makes that much difference either way though

I have the same direction like you whatmoretyres. But the brakes are very loud.

That means the direction of Tartandude is correct?

That means the direction of Tartandude is correct? Yes Phew It is still notably noisier braking with this setup compared with standard disc and pads, but then I would expect it to be. Im using Red Dot Fast Road Pads as well incase that makes a difference

Discs are handed by their internal veins, not any external grooves.
If the two halves of a disc are seperated by pegs then it doesn't matter, you can put them on whichever way you want.
If they are seperated by helical vanes then it is important to get them the correct way, the theory is this: The air is sucked in at the centre of the disc and thrown out of the perimeter, so you put them on accordingly.
