The attached chart shows the situation if OP meant to say that a rotate clockwise command
caused the front wheels to rotate forward and the back wheels to rotate backward.
  • Green means wheel rotation forward
  • Red means wheel rotation backward
  • Columns B D F H J L show what it should be
  • Columns labeled "?" show what it is actually doing (per OP's testing)

As you can see, swapping the FrontRight and BackLeft motor commands will correct the problem:
  • the RCW and RCC will be corrected, and
  • the already correct FWD, REV, STR, & STL will be unaffected
