The tag is forward meaning it is installed backward or the canvas was installed on the alumuinum poles incorrectly.  I reversed my installation to see the difference.  I went back to the original(backward) setup.  I like the way the  rigid pole lays forward on the poptop and the rest of it folds itself to the rigid pole.  How are other biminis  mounted?
