There's a mode built into the game called symmetry mode, but I know little about it; I'm a survival only guy. Are you using that?

Hi Dashie Legend, use ''Insert, Home, Page up, Delete, End and Page Down keys to rotate.

For the mirror I'll come back with the steps....

Your usual rotation buttons should do the trick. If not - try pressing B once (I think that was the button) and then try using the rotation buttons again.

If I understand the question as "I forgot to/couldn't use symmetry, but I want some or all of my ship to get mirrored now.", then I would suggest: use SEToolbox to copy whatever part you want to mirror (cut it off and save it separately if you just need less than the whole thing mirrored), use the editor to flip the piece in the save file, reload, copy the piece while pointing at the block you want the flipped part to be centered on, then paste it and attach it to the ship (assuming you're in creative).

However
I am not sure what the exact capabilities of SEToolbox are, nor do I claim that this is the only way to do this. There are a lot of factors, so I can't quite say without knowing enough information. This is just a quick but probably overcomplicated solution.
