How to flip smart fasteners?

I select the inner surface of a hole and select Smart Fasteners from the ribbon.
Solidworks 2022 adds the smart fastener, but it's on the opposite direction.
How can I flip the fastener? Every site or help page I see talks about a Flip button that I can not find.

not sure what version you are using, but I have a flip button on the menu you show win your picture that does what you want. I am not sure why you don't have it.

Did you try clicking on "Customize Menu" to see if it will show up?

I'm on 2021 SP5.1 so it could be. That was a screen shot from a model I had up and inserted a smart fastener, that flip button did exactly what you wanted.
