It's very hard to diagnose with the little information provided. At the very least a picture of what you are trying to machine and the gcode would be a good start.

I know you maybe very frustrated and maybe English is not your first language but you will have to provide more information.

Is this the only job you are having issues with ?

If the preview is correct, but the physical part is rotated and flipped, it may be that your axis directions are configured wrongly.

Jogging X+ should move the _tool_ to the right relative to the _work_
Jogging Y+ should move the tool away from the operator relative to the work.

Or, if you prefer:
Y+ = North
Y- = South
X+ = East
X- = West.

But everything describes the motion of the tool relative to the work, not the motion of the work relative to the world. 

It can be confusing with moving-table machines, for example a standard bed mill will be table-left for X+.

Another possibility is that you have a rotation offset in the work coordinate system.
G10 L2 R0 in the MDI tab should fix that.
