The assembly drawing shows your components refdes, where they go, and
what orientation they have on their footprints.

That's the easiest thing to do.  Make sure that the orientation of the
BGA is obvious, and the refdes is also obvious in the drawing.  In the
best case, you have somehow marked the position of ball A1 on the
footprint's silkscreen so this position is also on the board.
