your tool is setup for left turret instead of right, so it's "backwards".

Both tool 3 and tool 4 are setup for "left" turret. Select "right". This will flip your tools around. If you wanted to use these same tools at that point, you will need to select your toolpaths on the left side of the part, rather than the right.

Your X values will be negative of course, but it will be the correct side of the part. The way you have it right now is essentially just backwards.

If the tools in the machine are setup with the inserts facing the operator/control, and positive X is to the right, then yes, that should be the case.
