Hi,

I've designed my first PCB and just received it. Parts of the build are 4 of these programmabled LEDSs https://jlcpcb.com/parts/componentSearch?searchTxt=C42163197. The weird thing is that when I converted my schematics to the PCB, something decided that the LEDS should be facing towards the PCB and even added cutouts. So now my potentiometers are facing upwards as intented, but the leds are upside down.

I assumed that the holes in the PCB are maybe for cooling. Even in the 3d view it was not recognizable to be that the leds would face downwards. I know that I can rotate with "R" but that's not going to fix this issue.

How can I flip the leds to face upwards? Or did I select the wrong component. From looking at the datasheet, nothing indicated to me that the would be mounted that way.
