The aperture will be on the front-most ring of the lens. The set aperture will be the number precisely in the center when the camera is looked at from above.

Thought so but the line that F/2 isn't on the top. It is kind of askew. Thanks

If it's a screw mount rather than bayonet mount there may be some inaccuracy in the centering. You can shine a light into the lens while working the apertures to see how much it's closing down.

the tik under the ƒ2 is aligned with the centerline on the depth of field scale. That center line indicates both the aperture (the forward ring) and distance (the rear ring.) It doesn't matter its alignment on the camera. As @loccdor mentioned, a screw mount lens my be slightly off where a bayonet will usually position the lens more accurately
