I think it's a matter of shotty lableing that's confusing me, and n00bish first build, but my FSP AX-500A psu goes to top of my case. Fits like a glove. But, it has one 120mm fan. Now, that goes on bottom right? Otherwise that fan just hits the top of case and not sure how that makes sense in cooling psu... but when put fan under, warning label upside down and plug too. But I think just mistake, warning label should be right side case. Im just clarifying direciton! Thanks.

Yes, the fan should face down.

you should have your fan facing down. i recently installed my xClio and with my fan facing down it seems "upside down" because the label is on the side that I can't see, which I thought was strange. But definitely have it down so if works to cool you PSU as well suck some hot air out of your case.
