Macbook Air (M1) 2020

Hi, I am having a problem with the action button. When I customised it to swap between desktops (swipe left to turn page to right, and swipe right to turn page left), if that makes sense. To resemble actual touchpad experience. The problem is once I swipe left and I go to the second desktop, the mechanism switches around and I now need to swipe right to go to the 3rd desktop. Its very confusing to explain but essential. I hope that makes sense
