To confirm, “from filter” in your case is scavenge oil from the engine?
Also, one thing to note in the Mocal diagram is that return to engine for a 911 (dry sump) is actually to the tank.

Thanks Scott - yes, the oil is coming from the engine, through the filter mounted in the passenger rear. The therm you see is in the passenger rear wheelwell. if the Mocal therm operates like the diagram, then the way it is currently plumbed, when cold, the therm would be sending to the front cooler. When hot, it would again send to the front cooler, but the return would be OK because both sides would be open? Is that what you are refering to when you say it may not be intuitive. Still does not eliminate that when cold, it should be going straight to the tank and not the front cooler. I wish I was better at graphics so I could write on this picture -
