Although Mine have been re shimmed at Maxtons and heavier springs @8.5

If it were me, I'd start by softening the pre load.

Rebound at the top and compression on the fork bottom was the usual arrangement as mentioned by others above, the rebound needle being essentially in the piston assembly and compression needle allowing oil out the bottom of the cartridge as the piston comes down.

Things changed with BPF and SFF forks and the like, some bikes Panigale 959s for example rebound and compression are in the top of the fork and preload is on the bottom casting.

Newer Ohlins have rebound in the right leg and compression in the left and nothing at the bottom.

If in doubt please check your manual.
