Gas block adjustment (self.ar15)

I recently went and sighted in my AR10 that I built, I noticed that it was ejecting the brass either directly parallel to the ejection port or throwing it waaaaay far behind me. With the research I did it seems I'm undergassed a bit, luckily for me I have an adjustable gas block. Just wanted to ask here (also to try and bring this sub back from the dead) if I'm correct in my assumption, as well as - what the hell direction is opening and closing on the gas block? I'm thinking looking down the barrel at it (unloaded of course) and turning my wrench to the right would close it and vise versa to open it, but I really have no idea. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey thanks for this. I'll probably leave it as it is for now since it cycles fine but if I ever feel like tinkering I'll remember this post and refer to it or just look up a similar guide online.
