Ender 3 Pro Extruder issues

Hello all!

So I have finally got this pretty much installed, BUT, I am at this point with the extruder wher I kind of figured my way into installing it like this in my picture. The problem is though is it seems to run reverse of what it should...? Its physically installed the stock way with the connector to the left of the machine if youre facing it. Is this correct? Also when I went to the menu to move the extruder it just wasnt working, I can reconnect it and it jumps a bit then I cant crontrol it fron the control.

Any information will help! After this I'm sure I will be asking questions on the Gcode side soon enough. Thanks!

Additional info: Ender 3 Pro, this was a direct extrusion machine I used the same motor and made it run essentially stock for the chameleon purpose.

So, you've installed the extruder 180 degrees out... it normally exits the side you have the 3DChameleon's Y adapter on. Technically, it'll work that way, but you'd need to flip all the wires in the cable to the motor to reverse it... it's better if you rotate the extruder so the Y adapter goes into the black PTFE connector like in this image:

Thanks, the part I printed out wouldnt let me install it without the rod being in the way. I think I downloaded the wrong one, I am printing the new piece now to see if that fixes this!

You can also rotate it by 90 degrees so that it clears the Z rod.

Thanks, ya! Thats what I was thinking of doing now, I reprinted what I thought was a different mount but it was the same and the mount just doenst clear the rod so I was dry fitting it to see if turning the outlet forward would aleviate it. Looks like that would work to me without a lot of extra changes.
