Is this the correct placement for O rings ?

Just having to deal with a leaky T joint and I am wondering if maybe the black O ring in the picture should be the opposite end (ie before the white plastic O ring that at the moment is the first to go into the equal T)?

Check it’s not a linear scratch on the pipe, as these fittings rely on 100% perfect surface contact to be sound. Basically, if the o-ring sits on a scratch that’s running the length of the pipe, usually caused by apes pulling / dragging  the pipes against brick / block etc during 1st fix, then you’ll get a leak that’s not caused by the fitting.
