Does it matter which USB-C you hook power to?

When i got my Edge-V it wouldnt fit in the case, i thought i got the wrong case at first so after digging around here i find this DIY setup needs a little more DIY then just putting all the parts together.

After i get the board to fit in the bottom USB-C plug is blocked off. I continue to use the one next to the HDMI plug.

Eventually i got the bottom USB-C hole opened up so i can use them both now.

But does it even matter which one i use to power the unit?

I am not certain on this, however, the image below suggests PD function is only available on the underside USB-C port. ̶S̶o̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶P̶D̶ ̶t̶y̶p̶e̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶r̶g̶e̶r̶/̶p̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶p̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶f̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶e̶f̶f̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶u̶n̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶n̶e̶c̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶p̶o̶r̶t̶.̶ ̶B̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶u̶l̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶c̶k̶ ̶s̶c̶h̶e̶m̶a̶t̶i̶c̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶l̶u̶e̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶n̶i̶g̶h̶t̶.̶

@Gouwa or @tsangyoujun will have more solid info on this.

The port on the underside of the Edge-V only receives power via USB-C P.D.
