Compass heading does not match vehicle direction with nonstandard mounting

Hey guys I have something that may not be an issue but I am just checking because I have another issue and want to be sure this isn't related. I have a rover with an APM 2.8 mounted pointing left (yaw 270) to save space. The external compass is mounted with the arrow facing the same direction. After compass calibration the heading on mission planner points in the direction of the compass and not the direction the vehicle is pointed. I tried auto missions and they seem to work just fine. Is this normal, or do I have to change the compass orientation as well? I understood the compass orientation references off the FC mounting, so I should have to make no changes in MP if it faces the same direction as the APM.
Thanks.
