Flap widget upside down

After repairing a broken ground lead to my RV-7A's flap position indicator (Ray Allen) and recalibrating the flap positions in Hardware Calibration, the arc type flap position widget was upside down--the flap pointer was level for zero flaps and went up the arc for 10, 20, 30 degrees instead of down. Flap positions are programmed in VP-X and flaps operate properly. I sent in the Settings to Don at Dynon and he didn't see anything wrong. Anyone else seen this?

As a workaround, I set the widget to digital style instead of analog and the upside-down graphic still showed, but only on the engine page of my HDX . I talked to Dynon support again, and was told that widgets for each page have to be set up separately. So I re-did the setting while in engine page, but no change. Maybe Dynon can address this upside-down widget in the next software update. Photos show digital widget in settings and analog upside-down widget on the engine page.

Is this possibly happening because you specified the flap extensions as negative numbers where for normal cases (like a Chessna 172) a flap extension is just specified as a 30 flap degree extension?
