Symbol : Two arrows point at a white bar in the middle.
Meaning : Install identical / same part for the opposite side.

For example , MG Zaku Shin Matsunaga , you may choose between , the Stabilizer horn or the Normal horn for the head.
Symbol : Character (前) with arrow point at a direction.
Meaning : The front of the part / piece facing the direction according to the arrow.
(前) means front in Chinese , which i guess is the same in Japanese.
Symbol : Number in black diamonds.

This is also some Mathematics xD
May leave your email in the comment section bellow to ask if you are confused. xDD
Symbol : Japanese writing. (like sound expression you see in manga/Japan comics)
Meaning : Parts will be snap fitted correctly once you hear sound of pieces snapped together.
The writing probably means the sound of "Pak" or "Tac" , as long as there is sound xD
I hope that this will help you with your building ^^
