Draggable Legs Reversed/Mirrored in Playback

I am trying to record my puppet in a sitting position.

Everytime I drag it's legs to where I want them, they rest in that position and then I press record. But when I play the take back to view the results, the legs change to a mirrored position (and they squeeze together instead of resting apart where I placed them before the recording).

I have also tried dragging the legs to where I want them during the recording and trimming the take to where the playhead is at the position I want but again, the legs are mirrored and squeeze together during playback.

Is there a box somewhere I need to check/uncheck? It does not do this with the arms, only the legs.
