A-Axis Spinning Wrong Way

I'm new to the world of 4th axis machining so this might seem like a stupid question but it is stumping me.
I have a part I am putting a tapered 12 deg angle in the back. This part rides on another and is critical to be free to chatter, burrs etc. I started to cut it(from the side so I could get closer to the top of the flutes) and it was chattering and overloading the tool because it was digging. I decided to remove some material prior to cutting these angles with a small 1/4" endmill. As shown below... I ran the piece again and it hogged out an area but when it brought around the next tool it rotated 90 deg the wrong direction. On the simulation on fusion it does not show this as being an issue as shown below. Can someone tell me what I am missing here? I've never had this problem before on other parts I have ran on the rotary. I'm missing something and I apologize for the stupid question but if you don't know you don't know 😂
