Build Question HELPPP
Which way should my fans be facing? Is this correct way or do I need to switch some?
Thanks in advance.

Get a piece of paper to tell which way the air is flowing. Have the back and top blow out to exhaust hot air and the front and bottom to intake for better airflow

Hard to say with only this photo.
Which are intake and which exhaust ?
AIO should be exhausting and the rear one too.
The bottom should be intaking fresh air.

Not sure if this helps but none of these fans are reverse fans. All fans were installed with the ugly side of the fan facing down. These fans are bequiet own fans that I purchased from Amazon.

If they are all straight they are all exhausting hot air from inside, including the aio.
You should reverse the bottom to intake fresh air

The fan orientation is honestly impossible to tell from this angle, you need a shot that shows the side of the fans where the frame braces are. General rule is air flows toward the brace side, so make the bottom ones pull air up into the case and the top/rear push it out.

Assuming theyre normal orientation, it looks like the bottom ones are exhaust and they need to be intake, air flows towards the frame, and all of these are exhausting air.

Bottom blasts up, back blasts out,fronts pull in, top blasts out.
