Although I think it has to do more with the cooling veins than the slots. But the pad material/gas would typically get ejected out with the slots leaning to the rear.

I hope they are on correctly. Went off pictures of slotted rotors I found and an LMR rotor install video. No directions in the boxes or Steeda website, and no stickers on them to indicate. If not no big deal just another hour spent in the garage.

This conflicting info is why directions or stickers on the rotors would've helped. My pics and the Reddit pic are of passenger side as well. And if you look at this linked LMR video 6:01 mark (albeit not Steeda rotors) the vane goes the way I have them and opposite of yours in relation to the caliper. I'm already carving out time Wednesday morning to swap sides, because me having to do something twice is par for the course when I do mods myself.

I know high performance driving requires break-in of brake pads, but does the same go for rotor disks? If so, is the procedure different for them as opposed to pads?
I put on the Baer Eradispeed+ rotors last year. They came with detailed instructions for the best way to "season" the rotors, as they call it. IIRC, they recommend driving normally for about a week, then there's directions for a certain number of stops from certain speeds with certain brake efforts in certain time periods, give it a day off, then another number of stops the next day. When it was done, I had huge confidence in my brakes.

I was told in the group buy thread that mine are on backwards as was mentioned. Thank you to those who pointed it out to me.

I dropped my baby off at the dealership to install x pipe and Roush axel back at 7am. I called for an update and they are "still working on it, don't get many of these, reading the instructions." I am not trying to rush them at all, but very nervous.

Where did you get the painted covers for license plate holes?
I think you are looking at the tow hook cover that is standard on the Australian version.
