Some help with Orientation (thread / path constrain) small detail about Autodesk Learning Video

Hello, Im having a bit of trouble with this:

 

The video itself used is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlKjJxtaTjU&

 

I have no problem with the video at all, but does not cover my problem by the way the threads are modeled for the tutorial.

 

Image reference

As can be seen, on certain parts the threads follow the correct orientation, but on other places they get inverted... while a cheap way would be simply to have them simetrical on both sides I would want to avoid that, someone can provide me a reasonable way to keep them looking outside?

Check "Allow upside down" in Path Constr.
