headlight motors please help

So one of my motors weren't working so I decided to change both at the same time. I changed the driver side and works perfect but when I did the passenger side I'm having a huge problem. When I turn lights on driver side goes up passenger side goes down. When I shut lights off driver side goes down passenger side goes up. Its a 90 firebird

Did you put the linkage arm on the right way? If its reversed the motor will spin right but the head light will do the opposite.
