Question, do I want the "in/out" valve tubing to be on the tube going into my jug of alk or cal or the one going to the tank?

Also do I need to prime these first in manual mode? I have about 3 feet of tubing going from the pump to my sump and my dose is higher than both my bottles of cal/alk and sump

It depends on the rotation of the pump. I have the BRS pumps and they rotate clockwise therefore, the tube on the left is "in" (alk/cal bottles) and right is "out" (to the sump).
They will self prime over time but it will take a loooooong time. Prime them in manual mode until the hoses are full of product, then switch to auto mode.
Most dosing pumps do not allow a syphon by the nature of their design, so where the pump is located in relation to the jugs/sump is irrelevant.
Okay thanks I just primed them so I'll see how they work in the next few hours
