Dimmer is backwards 🤨

Maybe I'm going crazy, but I'm pretty sure the dimmer feature in the light switch worked as this: Turn clockwise to make dash brighter, turn counterclockwise to dim the lights.
For some reason it's the opposite now! Everything else is normal.

This appened after I was removing a retrofitted button from the dash. Maybe I pulled on some wire by accident, but this just seems so weird. Pulled the switch out but it looks completely normal, no corrosion or visible damage.

Can someone confirm that it's supposed to be:
CW->brighter, CCW-> dimmer, All the way CCW-> Interior lights on.

Oh and it's a '93 E150.

Thanks!
