Default The up and down sides of rotors relative to ridges

Hoping to clarify, my upwind Ridge A generates the primary. My downwind ridge Ridge B is downwind of Ridge A (and lower in altitude). Secondary wave lift and rotor forms upwind of Ridge B. Oftentimes, ridge lift between the rotor and the ridge.
