You say mirrored, but I think what your really saying is the helical cuts are inversed. I tried messing with the MMD and Post to get that changed and nothing worked. I would then mirror your part along the X axis and drive the toolpaths that way. Cheat the model to get you what you need. Not ideal, but sometimes that is what you need to do to get a job done in the real world so it will be a good teaching exercise on how to think out of the box to solve the problem.
Here is the file with what I was referring too. Hopefully this helps get you and the students going in the direction you all need to get what your after done.
Secondary Helix 30 DEG 0.625 2019 Rev A
I wouldn't care about this if one of the toolpath tabs didn't get in the way, cutting the actual filename part out. Yes, you can customize tabs but why do you have to redo a ribbon to fix a flawed design? I have ended up naming the first machine group same as the filename to get around this.
