Not sure what you mean, that's where it lines up with the mounting access holes on the inner frame and having just done 700 miles of mostly motorway driving it was very usable in that position.
He means the base of the wing mirror is back to front! The point bit should be pointing forward and the square bit at the back...

Good luck with the sale. I'm sure the car will give the future owner a great deal of fun.
