It was reinstalled today by me, a few people from the company I work with, and a bunch of help from locals.

Yes, it is rotating in the other direction. For a thunderbolt, it does not matter which way it rotates. This occurs due to the mixing of two of the three phases during (re)installation. If you switch two wires, it will rotate in the opposite direction.
