Changing pads and I noticed L and R... what does that mean?

The reason I ask is because the pads are still new I’m just going with a low dusting pad and it seems like sometimes l is on the top ad sometimes R is on the top. I can’t figure out a rhyme or reason to why they are marked like that.

Which pads? Photos?

There's also a forum titled "Suspension | Brakes | Chassis" and you should have posted this there.

Are they oem ?
L R means left right. Some pads have angled transitions to be put against the direction of the rotor.

Also maybe this will help

They indicate the fitting position. In the case of these pads, they can be fitted anywhere.
