Default Replacing my oem Panasonic battery with a 24F battery? Polarities are reversed?

Hello all, I’m planning to replace my oem Panasonic battery with a new AGM 24F battery. I realized the polarities are opposite like the red should be on the right but it’s on the left. What’s the best way to install this? Do I put the battery backward or bend the cables around? Your advise is appreciated.

Get a version with the correct post placement, don't bend cables or put anything in "backwards".

The IS takes a Group 24 battery, which has the poles in the correct position.
The Group 24F battery is the same as the Group 24, except the poles are reversed.
