Aion FX - LED orientation Q

Hi all,

I'm actually doing two AION builds at the moment, and realize that I'm pretty confused about the relationship between the solder pads and the orientation of the LEDs.

In my previous kits (incl. Stew Mac pedal builds) the square pads are for the positive leg, but Aion seems to go with the cathode/- side being the square pad square and the anode being the circle pad, even though elsewhere on the board (i.e., for electrolytic caps) the square pad is the positive.

The manual is reasonably clear but since this goes against my previous projects I just wanted to see if anyone can be definitive with me? I see others have asked this question before but I don't see any definite answers. Appreciate anyone's input here.
