Volvo MS15 trans question

Hello I’ve got a brand new Volvo D-130 i’m installing and just realized i’ve got a left handed prop. Do you know if the MS15 can be run in reverse for forward propulsion or am i looking at a new prop?
 
from the installation manual:

Right-hand propeller Standard recommendation is propeller with right hand rotation for forward.

Being as its a LH engine, I don't see any issue....the manual also has a graphic, where the cable connection is shown and it indicates "F" with the control lever going aft, towards the coupling...

Right, but that’s forward for a RH prop. which means you’d essentially want to kick the trans in reverse for the LH prop right?
