Which airtrain to take at JFK?

I am arriving at JFK terminal 5 with JetBlue and leaving terminal 7 with Cathay Pacific. I am planning on taking the airtrain because it is free for inner terminal travel. I was researching it on the website and saw that there were two routes, one for inner terminal and one that connects with the New York Subway system. How do I know which one to take (because the last time I was at JFK (terminal 4) I was with my parents and just followed them but I remember there being two airtrains, one on the left one on the right, and remember my parents saying they didn't know which airtrain was for within airport and which one was connected to subway system because there were no signs to distinguish the two). Any suggestions? If there is no sign to distinguish which one is which, how do i know which one to take, I have a tight connection and can't afford to end up in NYC with my luggage lol.

The signs are very obvious in the Airtrain stations. You should take the train that goes to the subway because the two routes run in opposite directions and if you take the route that circles the terminals, you will be taking the long way around. terminal 5/6 is right next to Terminal 7 but the terminals only train goes from 5/6 to 4 to 3 etc. while the subway-bound train goes to Terminal 7 straight after Terminal 5/6. See the map linked to below.
