Your question assumes the existence of a "right way".

For a dual supply (positive and negative), one might envision getting a
small improvement in measured hum by swapping the primary leads.  But if
this is so, then it's likely the result of asymmetrical capacitive
coupling between the primary and the two secondaries.  The relationship
there is likely not going to be repeatable from one transformer sample
to the next, and certainly has nothing to do with transformer dots.

See figure 3 on this page:

But I haven't seen anyone provide evidence of improved audio
performance from doing this - only anecdotal "evidence".
