Question regarding right side mirror and tilting

My right side mirror is not tilting down anymore when put on reverse.
This is exactly what I did before this happen.
Got into car, turn engine on and modified my comfort seats, steering wheel and mirror and assigned them to a buttom. Then I put the car on reverse to pull the car out off the garage and that's when I noticed that my right side mirror wasn't tilting down anymore. I had just pulled out of the garage 1hr earlier and it was working fine. I don't know if I did anything when I reassigned my settings to the programmable buttons!
Help before I take car to have it look at!
Thanks

On my LHD car, the mirror switch needs to be clicked over to the left (ie the mirror I want to tilt) for this to work

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try in a hour when I go to school! I did make changes to it!
Just went to look at it and the switch is in fact in position "2" I probably left it like that since the right mirror was my last modification.

Right. The US manual refers to positions "1" and "2." Position one is to the left, and position two is to the right. When the switch is in position one, then the RH mirror is supposed to tilt to give you a look at the curb. I imagine it's the reverse on RH drive cars?
