SMA antenna connection in LoraWAN module (XBee Socket)

Hi,
I ordered a LoRaWAN Shield for Raspberry Pi - EU

And before plugging it in I already have a question.
I see that the module has the two antenna connections for 433 and 866. The one I bought comes with the 866 MHz antenna. And I have no doubt in which to connect it.
As I read the tutorial:

"The module for 868 and 433 MHz includes 2 RP-SMA connectors for the antenna. One is for the 868 band and the other for the 433 band. A sticker on the bottom of the modules specifies clearly where to screw the antenna."

But I don't see any sticker in my module.
I understand that connecting certain devices without antenna can damage the electronics. I do not know if these devices with low power exist that risk, but I prefer to make sure.

Thank you very much, greetings!

Hi, 868 connector is the one on the right side if you see the module from the top with the connectors upside.
