Default remote oil filter and cooler route

FE 390, melling HV oil pump, stock 5qt pan. I just want to make sure I have this right. From the bottom hole in the oil filter adapter on the engine block I go to the oil cooler. Is there a specific IN and OUT on the oil cooler? I don't know. From the oil cooler to the remote oil filter IN. Then from the oil filter OUT to the top hole on the engine block. Is there a way to screw this up so hot oil pressure is low (25psi). I just don't see any fluctuation in my pressure reading based on rpm's. 25 at idle...25 at 4500rpm. When cold for the first 15 minutes oil pressure is at 50 and then slowly drops to 25. Stays there whether I'm putting slow or on the fwy. I plan on upgrading to a bigger oil pan, but in the mean time is anything else wrong here? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

John
