Substance Stager - Brushed metal on a square box

Hi All
I am just trialling Substance (previously a Keyshot user). One of the things I am struggling to succeed with is Brushed Metal on a 6 sided shape.
Each edge is rounded
For some reason, Stager is putting the brush strokes in the correct direction, but on the rounded edges it is canging the orientation of the brush strokes by 90 degrees which is incorrect.
Do you have any thoughts on how to correct this?
It gives best results using UV projection. I have tried the other two projection types.
Here is a screenshot of the issue.
The green lines show the brush strokes behaving correctly, but the red ones on the radiused edge are incorrect. https://app.screencast.com/1qO5dxDHr6xBK
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

May be yiucan try to generate UV? But not sure. What if you mirror object from object properties?

I found the mirror button but that just flipped the object and kept the same issue.

Usually Flip work when you flip before applying decals and some materials. It difficult to say what is the reason, but the most possible thing is that UV map is not correct.
