It fits into a slot in the mechanism and is held in place with a single screw. Should be able to flip it.

I had the same problem with mine but I didn't think of flipping it. I took it off, heated it with a torch and carefully bent it to the angle I wanted. Worked like a charm.

Re: Turn signal?

if you flip it, it'll probably be too far forward. I've bent many of them with no heat.
