These are rear hubs, but the idea is the same.
The spoke holes on the opposite side of the hub are offset.
IF you are working CCW around the rim, the 2nd set has to be in the opposite hole that is offset CCW as in the left pic. Putting it in the hole as in the right pic will result in the long/short spoke scenario.
