Wipers go backward

So I was finally able to connect the battery to my newly restored 70 C10. I was ops checking some of the electrical since I re wired the entire truck using an American autowire updat kit. I had left my wiper arms off until I could make sure they were parked. Well when I turn them on they turn in the direction of moving the wiper down then come back and park. Is it possible I wired it backwards or maybe could I have put the control rods in wrong? Maybe the arm that connects the push rods to the motor? Any help would be great. Thanks!

The arm that connects to the motor should be pointing toward the driver side when parked, and so should the other two arms. Here's a photo of the motor arm.

Yep that's it. My arm is facing the passenger side when parked. That should fix me up. Thanks!

So I checked and the arm was on wrong. Flipped it around and all is good now. Thanks!
