How to put middle name

I've been wondering why no one is answering about the "middle name" issue. Someone here in the community said that "middle name" does not matter but my money was returned to my paypal because it's said I have wrong information in my bank account so that is basically my "middle name". PAYPAL ACCOUNT does not have middle initial. My bank account has middle initial. So confirmed MIDDLE INITIAL/NAME MATTERS!

Now my next question, where am I going to put my "middle name" is it in FIRST NAME OPTION or LAST NAME OPTION? I hope someone can answer this. Thank you!
