One end should have slightly larger roots that may appear somewhat woody. The finer roots should be beneath the thicker ones. It is perfectly legitimate to call the seller for advice as well. Phlox subulata, aka creeping phlox, has a shallow root system. You could probably plant the root mass horizontally 1-2 inches into the soil. Water in well and in future years provide some winter protection with evergreen boughs or a thin layer of chopped leaves. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/groundcover/creeping-phlox/creeping-phlox-planting.htm [1]
