That is not correct, or at least not any more clear. The idea is to flip on over, which could be rotated 180 degrees but for most people I think they will just spin it 180 and that will not help anything.

It is more clear, it specifies the axis of the rotation

I will leave this open and have another look but I think it needs to be a graphic to clarify.

I can provide a graphic of the flip from the perspective of my slicer if that would help.

In other instances, like the YZ plates, the docs refer to the opposite orientation as mirrored, and even provides a mirrored file for it.

While I'm not saying we need to distribute a mirrored file for each brace, clarifying it as mirrored in the text may help, while still noting why it is important(having the truly flat side from the top facing out).

Most slicers can mirror. It only needs to be noted that it needs to be mirrored on either the X or Y axis, not Z.

This is easy enough in PrusaSlicer from the right-click menu image
