Just want to confirm i have this correctly..

in the following image:

Photo of a black three-pin TO-220 style power transistor package with a metal tab on the back and a visible logo on the front, pins pointing downward.


from left to right, its Gate, Drain, Source ?

it doesn't say on the datasheet

Yes that's correct, it's shown in the package outline at the end of the datasheet. Note that the heatsink tab is also connected to the drain.
