Default Projection Lights Reverse Orientation

I have a 2016 Audi A6. I bought the Audi Logo door projection lights. The orientation is upside down on the drivers side and a piece of metal is in the way to allow me to reverse it when I pop them back in. How do I reverse the orientation? Is there a different part number for the drivers side?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but here goes. What do you mean by upside down orientation?

The Audi name faces away from the car.

Dumb question but have you tried swapping it to the other door? If so and you can't are you sure they the right part number for your particular vehicle?

Looks good to me. If you want to flip the logo you can probably just switch doors

Mine faces the other way. I installed it the only way it fit. Is there a way to flip the module longitudinally in your case?

[EDIT] Just noticed yours was a different module than mine.

The gel is in a barrel. The barrel sits over the lens. It has a protrusion on one side. Get a small screwdriver and rotate the barrel around to where you want it.

I have (what appears to be) the same ones on all 4 doors in my 2012 C7. One of mine looked like yours when I first put it in, but I was able to spin just the "lens" itself while it was still installed. Just a *slight* push up and spin with your finger.
