For both jumps, the objective is to pick right on the hockey circle you're traveling on. For the lutz, you are going CW on the LBO edge, so your left shoulder faces inside the circle and your right foot has to almost cross behind the left foot when you pick in order to pick on your circle. After you pick, take a look and make sure you picked right on the circle.

For the flip, you are traveling CCW on the LBI edge, so you need to pick to the right a little in order to pick right on the circle you're traveling on. You'll see how it works when you actually try it on a hockey circle.

Of course you never really do these jumps on a hockey circle; you do them on an imaginary circle that is much larger, so the crossing behind on the lutz and the reaching to the side on the flip is much less pronounced.
