In summary, a mistaken mirror placement refers to when a mirror is installed in a location that does not accurately reflect the person standing in front of it. This can have various consequences, including distorted self-perception and potential impact on customer satisfaction and sales in professional settings. To identify a mistaken mirror placement, one can check their reflection's alignment and observe it while making different body postures. To fix a mistaken mirror placement, the mirror can be adjusted or moved to a different location. There have been scientific studies on the effects of a mistaken mirror placement, which have shown a negative impact on self-perception and body image, but more research is needed for a deeper understanding.

That's easy: It was a contractor/subcontractors mistake, thus covered under installation warranty.
Call them and have them reverse the mirror. No cost.
