Tried it, doesn't work... so my only option is to directly edit the

No, a horizontal invert. What happened is I inserted a 0805 and the
refdes was backwards. Not sure how that happened but I was looking for
an invert option and didnt find it. I probably accidentally placed the

The side I solder on? Thats a bit ambiguous. I solder SMT components
on top and solder through-hold components on the bottom. So really
both sides are the layer you solder on.
