Here is an interesting problem I need help with

I am working on my warlords restore and I can't for the life of me figure out how to install my new locks

There are 2 locks for the top glass to latch onto, one rotates to the left to lock and the other rotates to the right to lock. I bought new locks how do you switch it. I'm puzzled I never had origional keys

It seems they come standard to rotate to the left to lock.
 
With some locks, you can remove the cam (little ring a square hole inside)off of the back and reinstall it differently.
 
I did try that already still spins to the left to lock or release the key.
 
Let's see the type of lock. Sometimes you can pull the cam out and turn it upside down to get it to rotate the other way...
 
Its a bob roberts cam lock like this
