Hi, I started to finish the basement. One wall I only put up 2 inch foam

foam,
question is do I install faced or not fiberglass in the new wall?
Attached is

The general rule is to only have one vapor barrier, so your facing
choice depends on whether or not your foam board is a vapor barrier.

Agree and if the new insulation is the one with the barrier, it should
face inside the basement.
