Calipers Swapped - Brakes Soft

Can someone post a picture of their front driver and front passenger stock calipers?
I think mine are swapped, just bought the car and the last owner said they bled the brakes but they don't have a good pedal feel. I think I either have two driver or two passenger calipers or they are swapped.

I know the fronts have the mazda logo which should have a certain orientation but how can I tell the rears apart to make sure theres not a problem there too?

Thanks

the bleed screw should be at the top, if it's at the top then re bleed them you can never trust what anyone says

No I didn't.

Could someone please post a picture of their front driver and front passenger caliper so I can see the orientation?
