The male should also have a side notch. But the female will click onto the male when inserted the correct way (I hope). Maybe try one connector in each, then tug on it. The one that's harder to remove the male from should be the correct one.

But I haven't taken this apart myself so it's only a guess. good luck
Agreed, I have seen other PCB's in the BMW with similar looking connectors near each other. In all cases I have found the connectors will only fit one way. Think about it the havoc this could cause at the manufacturing level with installers putting connectors on the wrong plug.
