Yep, that way too. I didn't wanna recommend that for safety reasons. If a big bubble of air is trapped in the system and a noob is standing over the hole filling it and the systems does a big burp, there is the potential for a scalded face. The reservoir/recovery bottle is vented and is typically is the highest point in the cooling system and where the burping occurs (air rises to the highest point), hence, my recommendation. Either way works.
