As above. If it does can I change the settings to correct it or do I have to mount it in a certain orientation?

Most firmwares have an option to reverse a motor direction, so fit it however works best mechanically and sort it out in the firmware

Great, cause I mounted the y-axis motor in the opposite direction.

Thanks, I might have to look up on that. Don't have much experience with DIY stuff.
