You can rotate each meter with for example Angle=1.57079632679, this will flip it 90degrees clockwise.
Angle is defined in radians.
You'd have to put this on every meter and change X and Y to make it a perfect mirrorimage.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Based on the way the question was asked, the answer is really "no". There is no easy way, no setting like SkinFlip=Horizontal or something. Using Angle is just going to have text meters reading backwards and / or upside down. The only way is to edit the skin(s) and change the positioning of things using X and Y parameters on the meters.

Angle only applies to string meters. The rest would need to use a transformation matrix to flip or rotate.
