Ha, ha, so my assumption was incorrect in that it may have been flipped around, so much for my brilliance! It 'should' work more efficiently if you return it to the original orientation, but that seemed to give you more grief than the current config...

In any case, either way the propeller is flipped, provided it spins counter clockwise (and the tabs take care of that), it will push water out the front, as intended. The flat side leading is supposedly the correct orientation, but who knows... it's now once again a mystery.
