I don't worry about it.   I use a shot of glue before I nail them.    The only thing I worry about is not shooting a finger.

Yes,  favor one side, otherwise it can be a hassle putting in the foundation.    I prefer staples over nails.

ditto the glue.  sometimes i forget, but the staples with the glue will hold up to about  anything.  i sure wouldn't redo those staples that ended up in the groove.  just work around them.  the bees will fix it if you have to mess up a little corner of foundation.
