How to change the primary axis on a mate without any change in geometry

I'm working on a project where the direction that a revolute mate considers positive is quite important.
Normally this would not matter since you could make your minimum limit negative and never worry about the issue again.
However, this wont work for me since my model is being processed through a program (specifically onshape-to-robot) where I need the output to be correct.
So the question in its base form is how do I change the direction of a revolute mate without impacting the geometry
I'm not really sure how to demonstrate the problem with a model so I am willing to elaborate in any way needed.
Thanks in advance.

I think you just need to flip one the mate connectors (and then flip the mate alignment to bring things back the correct way)
