It makes no difference which number line is on top or bottom, as long as 11 is with 13, and 12 is with 14.
If you're having trouble with building up pressure make sure your banjo bolts are fully tightened and copper washers in place and check for no leaks. I had trouble building pressure as I had air in my lines, so had to push the roof up and down manually and bleed air out of the hydraulic fluid reservoir.
The brass release valve should stiffen up once pressure is back.
