Expected behavior

The connectors to the Arduino should be on the bottom of the board instead of the top. If you assemble the board yourself or get it assembled by an CM used to these they it is obvious that it needs to be on the bottom to plug in. I used microfab which followed the board layout exactly as specified by the board layout.

Hardware info

?actuator_control_1.2.0?
gateway_r0
sensor_interface_1.1.0
vehicle_controL_module_0.1.0

Usually when I need to do this, I copy the part in the schematic, offset it a little, but connect to all the existing pins. Then in the board editor mirror the part (which puts it on the back side), flip it 180 degrees, and the move it to be in the same spot as the original. Unfortunately some of these parts have mounting holes attached which broke some of the connections when I did the quick edit, (attached). I don't have time right now to edit the components and build an equivalent layout
