The pipe should be placed about 6" below the finish floor (slab)
that you have inside the footing. If it is equal with the floor
(or higher) then water will enter the basement before entering the
pipe. The lower you can put it, the better (i.e. if you can't go
down 6" below, go at least 4".

Isn't that why the holes are supposed to point down? Or do you mean the
bottom of the drain pipe should be 6" below finish floor?
