Reentry lift vector

Hello,
I had a look at the YouTube video and for me the lift vector is backwards, ie. if I enter the atmosphere retrograde the capsule will pitch down because of air and Gs will build up, to decrease Gs I have to actually invert it (Earth under head).
Am I missing something? Thanks!

Yeah, there was some discussions back-and-forth between what was correct or not. But the lift vector should be as it is now, inverted from the video. (so similar to Apollo)
