Not sure what you mean by that. As in, trying to get the tool to plunge at the WCS?

Yes, The tool moves all the way to the other end before it starts cutting. I thought I did something wrong. Is this move necessary?

Ah, you mean (in Setup 1) that you want it to start at X- instead of X+. The software defaults to a climb style move if you select 'Both Ways' in the Passes tab. I don't think there's any good way to force the tool to start from a specific corner, although you could change your passes to 90° and toggle the "From Other Side" box and it'll start where you want it, but will do short passes along Y instead of long passes along X.
