New build - AIL and ELEV seem swapped

Just finished my new Gaui 500x build with WKM and when testing the AIL and ELEV seem swapped. If I move AIL right the Gaui pitches back. AIL left pitches forward. If I pull ELEV back the GAUI rolls right and ELEV forward rolls left. Rudder and Throttle are correct.

I have checked and rechecked all cables. I checked and rechecked all motors. I have calibrated multiple times (individual ESCs and all together). I have checked all settings on my DX8 TX and everything is correct. In the DJI software the ELEV and AIL are correct. I have setup the control switch and setup failsafe and all show correct (slider turn blue) for all positions.

Any ideas? I've thought about swapping the ELEV and AIL on either the RX or MU but that really concerns me as the wrong solution.

I'm a dumbass... Hours of checking and rechecking but I finally found my mistake. I had the motors set according to the Gaui manual (1,2,3,4 counting clockwise) instead of what DJI expected (1,2,3,4 counterclockwise). I swapped the motors 2 and 4 on the MC and took her out for the first flight. Flight was amazingly smooth and easy to fly. Huge sigh of relief and now onto the fun.
