My x goes left instead of right

Perhaps the Troubleshooting will help:

If that doesn’t get it going, we need more details about which laser you have and whether you set it up with the manufacturer’s LightBurn config file.

I have used lightburn for a year on my plasma cutter now I figured out it is a mere image I have to reverse it and do not know how

So why do you have to reverse the image? Can you not reverse the axis direction instead ?

Your profile says “S9” and “GRBL”, which I assumed was a Sculpfun S9 diode laser.

If that’s the case, then the machine origin is probably different than whatever else you’ve been using.

Setting the origin is generally handled by the manufacturer’s config file (although they occasionally get it wrong), so checking that is the first step.

If it’s currently set to the corner with the home switches, then other problems come into play.

I think it is mirrored image because my text also burned backwards I’m sure it’s something I messed up by hitting the wrong button or something but I’ve been using it for over a year

If the device origin is set incorrectly, it will cause all the symptoms you have described so far.

LB V1.7 to V2.0 to V2.0.05 had several evolutions of change in how LB used G54 work coordinate offset, Move window jogging (with and without ‘continuous’), device setup work area Origin selection, and on the Laser window ‘Start From: Origin’ selection. You may be experiencing one or more of the side effects from release to release of these changes.
This thread may help you figure it out or diagnose for a workaround -
