its late so if my technical language gets slurred sorry...

hmmmm.....mine is always slurred.
The diode will go cathode (band end) towards the driver chip, and blank
end toward the IGBT gate.
It doesn't really matter as to diode or resistor towards which as
the diode will determine that current flows in that leg anyway.
The diode is allowing current to flow through ALL of the parallel resistors
when the gate driver chip is LOW.
