Explanation:

The molecular orbital consists of both parent orbitals combining, oxygen has 6 valence electrons, 2 in the 2s subshell, and 4 in the 2p orbitals. Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, 2 in the 2s subshell, and 5 in the 2p orbitals. (Since 1s is a core shell we are ignoring it for this answer).
now we know how many electrons are in each orbital, we fill the diagram according to the aufbau principle (Electrons will fill from the lowest energy subshell to the highest), and get the resulting diagram for OF. To get OF+ you need to gain a positive charge, meaning an electron must have been lost, since oxygen is less electronegative remove the electron from the 2p orbital of oxygen. And fill in the diagram again.

Note that due to the size of the two atoms and energy difference between s and p orbitals we are able to discount the effects of sp mixing.
