Fret buzz as a beginner

Just look right on top of the bold, then it doesn’t matter if you adjust the trussrod from the headstock or the body, in all cases left/counterclockwise or right/clockwise is correct.

aw shit by now I already followed the diagram and turned clockwise, hope I didn't mess it up and can reverse it without issue

Just turn it back, there’s no harm done.

i always place a mark with a pencil so i always know where i started.

Sorry, I find that highly ambiguous. The arrows are drawn in the same plane as the truss rod and Allen key... so it's possible to interpret those arrows as meaning either direction.

 

If you see it as looking into the end of the truss rod along the allen key, it suggests anti-clockwise as tighten.

Just looking at the diagram on its own I would agree its a bit confusing, although the image looks cut off, but the guy put context to it by saying turn left to right which is correct. 

 

Turning anticlockwise when looking at the truss rod is right to loosen it, as is turning left to right when facing the headstock.

 

Back when I was a beginner many moons ago, if someone said turn the truss rod clockwise or anticlockwise I would have no idea what they were talking about. But see both sides.
